Shakespeare Squatty Body VHF Antenna with L-Bracket

The Shakespeare Squatty Body VHF Antenna with L-Bracket is a genuine favorite among sailboat owners, purpose-built for masthead mounting where a lightweight, low-profile design matters more than raw antenna height, since it's already sitting at the very top of the mast.

The internal coil, tin-plated copper wound and sealed completely airtight, keeps moisture out for good at a height where climbing up to service anything is a hassle, and both body and whip run stainless steel for real durability aloft. Unlike the cable-included version of this antenna, this one terminates in an SO-239 connector with cable sold separately, giving installers the flexibility to run whatever length actually matches their specific mast height rather than being locked into a fixed cable length. Shakespeare backs this antenna with a 2-year limited warranty.
