    Hi Bob,

    Have a look here: http://www.ussailing.org/safety/Studies/radar_reflector_test.htm

    About the radar flag they say: The Radar Flag reflects satisfactorily at 0° heel when flat, but in the draped position in which it would be used on a staff, it is practically invisible,

    Doesn't sound like a good buy.

    Subject: lv-ab: Radar flag

     I have to buy both a new flag and radar reflector and saw this product
    http://www.radarflag.com/ and was wondering if anyone has used it. Seems
    like a nice idea and the price is competitive. I also notice that the
    Blipper is not offered in catalogs anymore. I wonder why.
