I've been tossing some ideas around about the solar thing lately... without a bimini or davits what's one to do? Under the boom is bad, on the dodger is bad so what's next? I've seen some other boats that hang their panels on the side life lines that are solid and extend further forward than ours do. Has any one added stainless rails from the stern rails to the next forward stancion and hung them on thoses rails? Would that span be too much for the new rail to be solid enough to hold the panels? I figure they could be deployed most of the time unless the sailing gets pretty rough. Also doesn't add length to your boat for those worried about the marina police Just some ideas, if anyone has thoughts or experience with this set up I'd love to hear about it.
