Asking designers opinion

Lot of stuff up there. Having just spent quite a bit of time dealing with issues with our seatel, check on the seatel specs for distance from the radar.

Hard to say without seeing a complete vessel profile drawing, I suspect for such a sleek yacht as a Maiora 31 it may be a bit much.

You might get away with it. But on closer viewing I was bothered by the size of the tubing that the mast is made of and wondering if it will support all that stuf without flexing, I am assuming that the structure is built with 50mm (2 inch) pipe

If your specing a dual-axis SEENITE, you might consider the highest possible location on your mast for full 360 viewing. The GPS receivers would also benefit from increased separation from the mast. And finally, (and to me, most importantly) move those KALENBERG T3's to over the wheelhouse, infront of the FB). Nothing like repeated toots from those babies behind you to make you type in all caps!!!

My dune buggy has a roll bar, my 427 Cobra (replica) has a roll bar and as I look out my living room window my ITALIAN boat has a....nope it's a radar arch....and it's defined as such in my much too numerous Italian printed owners/operators manual. But perhaps my point is if (and I realize that this is the subject for a whole 'nuther topic) if we are all to speak of the subject we love, (yachts) shouldn't we all be conversant in the language of the sea and ships. It should be the gentle responsibility of those with sea legs to encourage those without them to learn.

I have never met comship but I suspect his first language is not english so fair go.

1 1/2 inch tubing for the mast structure sounds a little light, I would be very concerned about the structure flexing. I am sure the arch will be fine.

May I suggest iust raising the concern and let the designers figure out the detail as I am not even sure that 2 inches would be correct. I just think 1 1/2 is a little light.

Well if you raise the issue and document that fact then if there is a problem at least you can go back to them to fix it.

Make sure you put in a very strong specification for isolation of stainless steel fasteners in a carbon structure.

If you think aluminum and stainless react badly, you should see carbon fiber and stainless. Looks like a lot of fasteners will be screwed into that structure.

Just eyeballing the thing, I was wondering about that tubing myself. For appearance sake, if not strength, I would be tempted to replace it with a short length of mast from a sailboat? So the dimensions would be much, much larger than just 2 inches. Plus the sailboat mast material would have a very pleasing oval shape to it. Of course all those brackets would need to be redrawn ...
