Llaüt rams breakwater in thick fog: What is missing now

Answer

What equipment do small boats in Mallorca need for safe navigation in fog?

For safe navigation in fog, small boats benefit from tools such as AIS, radar reflectors, a compact radar, and reliable GPS. On many traditional boats like a llaüt, that equipment is not always standard, which increases the risk in poor visibility. A radio connection to the harbor authority can also help when maneuvering near the entrance.
