Radar Tower

Post by jumpjet231 »

I'm looking to take off my stainless arch and put on a tower. Does anyone know the brand that came with the Albin's from the factory or the dimensions and angle?

Socalmike added one to his 28. He called out in one of his posts what vessel he got it off. It looked good and didn't degrade his performance much if any.

Given the subject line (“Radar tower”) I’m thinking mast. Trying to find my posts from when I added the mast to Sonny III.

Edit - follow this thread.

It looks a little more commercial and a little less "yachty" but we added a mast to the arch on Isla to get the height necessary for the radar to see over the liferaft. Added some antenna and light mounts as well.

It does all need to be removed for trailering.
