Well Jeff, I'm going to unplug pretty soon here and go and have a drink with clay. But I will say that if I showed you my sketches and drawings going back for years and years, I can show you a similar idea for a sailboat antenna where what I had on the bow and the stern fiberglass poles that would tension a sort of a shallow inverted V dipole, but the poles themselves would have wires coming around down to maximize the length of the antenna wire. But I have thought of that having poles of the bow and the stern of a boat could be anything. I usually have the apex of the antenna of the inverted V being at the top of the mast for a sailboat, like a yawl, and single mast sailboat, and have the antennas not interfere with the sails because they would have the fiberglass poles at the bow and the stern pulling out tensioning the inverted dipole to a shallower, flatter, shallow inverted V with the fiberglass poles pulling the antenna wires well away from the rigging for the sails. But I have also drawn the same picture on little boats that were just houseboats and everything.
