40ft yacht with radar and firdell blipper, well maintained but not bottomless pocket. Many cross channel trips and often amongst big ships at night. This season I had allocated about £600 - £800 for an EPIRB but the Ouzo report has made me wonder if the money might be better spent on a SeaMe radar reflector. This seems to be the only piece of equipment to be recommended by the report. I know it would be better to have both but that is not the option under consideration. My crew are divided equally. Is it better to invest limited funds in being positively seen on radar or in being positively identified in the oggin following a catastophy?
