We looked at several ketch rigged boats and loved the idea of a mizzen for mounting stuff...our backstay is also insulated for the SSB, and our VHF antenna is also at the top of the mast. I'm looking forward to seeing how the final pole/davits project turns out because this was Scott's "baby" - he is a stickler for aesthetics and so far all his "ideas" have been good ones!<br />@Neophyte - She sure is!! Just yesterday she pulled herself to standing for the first time...she's a crawling, laughing, chattering machine these days. Seriously loving every single minute watching her wire up her limbs and figure out the world around her!Windtravelerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11933432135694020418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-5539423004670514122012-10-15T11:33:56.587-05:002012-10-15T11:33:56.587-05:00We, too, have a radar pole...but, Isla sure is gro...We, too, have a radar pole...but, Isla sure is growing up fast! We can't get over how much she's changed this past half-year! It does go by fast. It's good you two (Scott and Brittany) have the good fortune to spend so much time with Isla!Neophyte Cruiserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00786143804921164212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-90060555516640617432012-10-15T10:43:45.179-05:002012-10-15T10:43:45.179-05:00Oh yeah - there's a TV antenna on the mizzen t...Oh yeah - there's a TV antenna on the mizzen too. :)<br /><br />bob<br />Robert Salnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236481906016930762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12630726.post-67802289464598949802012-10-15T10:41:04.268-05:002012-10-15T10:41:04.268-05:00Hi guys -

But we do have a mizzenmast (OK, I guess that's kind of a pole), where the radar is mounted.<br /><br />The VHF antenna is mounted on the top of the mainmast, as high as it can be; there is a second (currently not connected) VHF antenna on top of the mizzen. <br /><br />Our GPS has an internal antenna (yea!).<br /><br />For Wifi, our antenna is inside, near the computer - we also use a Clearwire cell phone modem (useless outside the US, I'm sure), also inside near the computer.<br /><br />Finally, for our ham radio, we have an insulated backstay.<br /><br />There would probably be some sort of electronic Armageddon if we tried to use all of this stuff simultaneously...<br /><br />bob<br />s/v <i>Eolian</i><br />SeattleRobert Salnickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17236481906016930762noreply@blogger.com
