Brill, thanks all. Just need to decide which boat now

We plan to bring the boat back to the Uk from the med by sea potentially so want it for that. We plan to cruise a lot and while 95% of the time radar is not needed, I think it is essential for the 5%. Given how we plan to use it. I’m not talking going out in the rough but we will use it 12...
