There's been a few discussions on these forums recently on the T60's radar arch.
I was at Saxon Wharf at the end of last week and there were two examples - on with the older forward facing and another with the more conventional rear facing arch.

I must say that I think that the older forward facing seems more practical but the rear facing looks more streamlined.

I took some pics to try and show the difference.

Hello hurricane. i confess to NOT being a radar arch expert but, the 60 i was on had the rear arch which allowed for a full length bimmi cover on the fly. the forward arch only allows for the rear section to be shaded.............i stand to be corrected......yer pays yer money n makes yer choice.

on the forward arch facing theres nothing to stop one putting a second bimini on from the front edge of the arch IMHO

I saw a forward-facing one yesterday but nothing like seeing them together to spotlight that the forward-looking reminds me of a deck-chair that hasnt been put up properly.

The rearward-facing just doesn't look as if its going to collapse.


As you say .. pays your money ....

I think the rear facing one will be only available for the Conran Aura
forgetting the practicality I do prefare this new version much better, which as Hurricane says give a pleasant modern stream lined effect
on the other the original T60 and worse IMO on the T50 with there forward radar arch do look a bit like 2 different puzzled boats joined togather....

I think the forward facing arch dates them a little. Being tall, I always find a way to bang my head on them, so as far aft is good IMO.

Sorry Steve, moved away from your OP. Well done with the crew position and voyage, just adds to the experience levels.
