Radar reflector on fiberglass pole

This is an aluminum Davis radar reflector mounted on a 5 foot fiberglass pole in "catch rain" position. I used to wire tie/lash it to my stern pulpit to have an `extra reflector about 8 feet off the water. I also fiberglassed a little plywood platform on it and mounted a strobe on that, so that if the unthinkable happened, I'd have both a strobe and a reflector on the boat independent of the mast. However, that plywood has rotted out and I've taken it off. A couple of hours with some marine ply, a saw, fiberglass tape and a drill, though and you could easily 'glass one back on.

It's been sitting in my side yard for a decade looking ugly. I just cleaned it up and I have no use for it. My Farallones and Beyond days are in the past so if anybody wants it, drop me a line. You have to drive down to Menlo Park to pick it up, though...no, I won't drive all over the Bay Area and wait 6 months for your most convenient moment to get it to you. If you'd like it, it's yours....come and get it.

Alan
