Echomast er™ radar reflectors give ships a chance to see your boat in fog and low vis-
ibility conditions—a must for serious boaters. The Echomaster circular plate radar
reflector is the most practical, efficient, and cost-
effective reflector available to pleasure boaters.
Echomaster’s superiority is proven. It was
ranked one of the world’s best radar reflectors
and one of the top ten sailing products by
Practical Sailor
. SRI rated Echomaster “superior”
after the most rigorous tests ever conducted on
radar reflectors, some costing 10 times as much.

foghorns, propellers, or the mighty bowwave from an onrushing “skyscraper of steel.”
Even if you did spot them or detect them on your radar, which way would you turn?

rnore, in distress situations the Coast Guard can be materially aided in search
and rescue by the deployment of a good radar reflector. The U.S. Coast Guard is
considering marine radar reflector requirements that would apply to pleasure boats
operating in waters of the United States. Already such laws exist in many other coun-
tries such as the United Kingdom, Canada and Germany.
Radar reflectors may also be mounted on a buoy or piling to help identify your dock or
mooring in less than perfect conditions. They can also supplement official markings on
hazards to navigation such as bridges, rocks, submerged trees, sunken boats.
