The radar on the necessary forward lantern mast is only for harbour use. Could be even lower and more forward if it wasn´t for the helipad. It is now over the bridge level, both to distract less and also to avoid the rays hitting people on the bridge deck.

I am not sure any wing stations are needed, but it is easy to build retractable wings as on Lady Moura and Rising Sun if you like. The sudden fashion in having protruding wing stations also on smaller yachts is actually pretty stupid. In most European ports they can hit the yacht next to it and hence requires some special fenders attached. Just an added concern when manoevring instead of a help...

Thanks for bringing this up Codger!
