While searching for a good deal I came across the QinetiQ report on radar reflectors following the Ouzo sinking. None of the passive type reflectors worked well however the cylindrical ones were singled out as inefficient. I now have an octahedral type which I can quickly hoist when in shipping areas or in poor visibility. <br />Worth looking up the report before deciding.
