We have had from one to four solar panels on our boat
If anyone is interested I have photos of the various projects that we
have done on the boat since we bought her in May 1998. Some of the
stuff is CSY specific, but some is more universal.
The link will come up as thumbnail with a lozenge which says launch
slide show. You can make the pictures in the slide show bigger by
clicking on the right side. Sometimes a screen will come up saying
that there is a problem, but usually I just close that message screen
and click again on 'launch slide show' and it will work.
#1 shows the boat as we bought her, and some of the first work we did

This includes testing the auto-inflate PFDs, new bimini, new (to us)
windlass, new anchor, a solar panel, dinghy davits, etc.
#2 shows radar arch, with another solar panel, installing ports in the
aft cabin, whisker pole, new toilet and Lectra San etc.

#3 shows the aft cabin modification, the new pumpout fitting, hinges
on the engine room hatches, treadmaster installation, and also the
details of the behind the mast furling, follow me antenna, radios,
tank tender, two more solar panels for at anchor or at the dock, and
the additional anchor tray on the bow.
