Hi,
Have to agree with Bill Kinney. However it comes down to how long you will be going to windward and when you next need the poles.Do you want to go through the process of putting them up and down

Re: [Amel Yacht Owners] Isolated grounding question - solar installation
Hi James,
I had built a solar arch and wind generator mount for Amelia. It is great. Love it.
I bonded the frame to the rest of the bonding system. There should be no leak from the solar panels
