Plastimo part no: P25587

£27.00 delivered to Ribnet members.

i cant believe those are still made. studies have shown they are ineffective, and they break for fun. the sea must be littered with perspex tubes and aluminium. i had two, before fitting an echomax 'dustbin' which is clearly built for the job.

Having been invisible to 3 boats on wrong side of a channel who seemed more interested in bringing the charter fishermen home, it made me realise how vulnerable I was to boats not keeping a proper lookout so investigated these things on the chance that someone in the wheel house might spot me on their radar.

However, after reading this article, decided that without a bigger boat with 4m mast and £500 I would be just as invisible. http://www.yachtingmonthly.com/fileB...ce_ym_june.pdf
