Sides of the solar panel mounting braced - 2011

October 2012 Marina Kona Kai Shelter Island San Diego, CA
 The bracing for the sides of the solar panel mounting were added. This has strengthened the structure and prevents any fore and aft movement. We are still toying with side mounts to the stern rail directly and up to the solar panel mounts.
At this time we think it may be over kill and while in the cockpit we do not want to be looking out through too many bars 😀😵. We will wait until we do some sailing to see how we feel about it. There are still three corner braces that need to be installed on the frame.
Note:
 We have added more bracing but never added the side mounts from the top of the solar bracing to the stern rail and have never had any problems while healing or in rough seas.
