well the spouse is not much interested in life on the water so i singlehand a lot. i am planning to do a singlehand race on the great lakes this year. (3 days' duration.) i have neither radar nor AIS . I am interested in purchasing a system which will operate to give me a proximity warning for approaching ships. I understand that most radar systems have an audible proximity alarm that can be set for --say -- 12 to 20 miles . the logistics of a singlehanded 3 day race require keeping a meaningful; watch, but one also needs to get some sleep.. i have heard of singlehanders setting a timer for 20 minute nap intervals but IMHO a lot of disaster can happen even if one isn't near a shipping lane..
any advice from the experts on which system you'd recommend
