If you are out in your boat, motoring,
sailing, or just sitting passing the time of day you should ensure
that you are seen on the radar screen of other vessels that are moving in your vicinity. Normally your
vessel is too small to
be seen effectively on another vessels radar screen so if you are among water traffic as
in shipping lanes or sitting fishing or stopped in a fog or poor visibility you
are in danger of being run down by any of these other vessels.
By carrying a radar reflector you can enhance the reflective radar signal from your vessel
so that you show up as being much larger
and more noticeable in comparison with other signals. This gives the other vessel
more notice of your position so that it has time
to take avoiding action if necesary. As very large ships can take a couple of miles to manouvre,
the earlier that they have warning of your position the safer it is for you. Be safe, Be seen. Some radar reflectors are better than others. Some
are only effective when they are perfectly still; rolling and pitching
due to wave action deflects the radar signal back in the wrong direction. The TriLens Radar
which is based on US Defence Department technology, reflects the signal back at all angles of
rolling and pitching and is therefore the best radar reflecting device
of its type available in the world. The TriLens Radar Reflector ensures that the radar signal
from another boat to your
boat is properly reflected and magnified so that you show up on the
radar screen of the other vessel whatever the prevailing sea conditions.
The Trilens reflector is made in three
sizes to suit the size of your vessel and give you total piece of mind when
traveling at sea in day or nightime.
The mini TriLens gives a return signal equivalent
to a reflector of .6 to 1 square metres, this is from a device approx. 20cm wide. The
slightly larger (30cm) standard TriLens gives a return signal equivalant to a reflector 2 - 4 square
metres in size. The large Trilens (which is fitted to all US Navy Trident submarines to
ensure that they are seen on aproaching radar when they surface) gives a return signal equivalent
of up to 10 square metres of reflector. These reflectors require no batteries have no moving parts,
so are totally failsafe at all times - there are no mantainence worries ever, with this unit.
Here is a piece of safety equipment you cannot afford to be without. It requires no maintenance,
it can't break down and with it you will greatly reduce your chances of being run over by a dirty
great big ship
A vessel
fitted with a TriLens Radar Reflector is definitely a much safer
vessel at sea.
