[Public-List] sail arch

[Jonathan Bresler]

Ryan,

Another option for solar is a pole with a single panel centered on the top
of the pole with a ball joint.
The ball joint allows the panel to be angled to catch the most sun, letting
you reposition (re-angle)
the panel every couple hours.   You might mount a pole on each side aft.
Lora, Jason Jernigan's boat,
redone by James Baldwin (https://www.youtube.com/user/atomvoyager/videos)
has this option.

Look forward to hearing about how you and the boat are doing over time.

Jonathan
