Play testing

Since I plan on mounting two 250 W solar panels and a 10 ft. dinghy off the targa bar, I vacuum bagged multiple layers of carbon fiber reinforcements over the core.

This resulted in a  super lightweight and strong  piece that showed very little deflection when loaded.

The photo is somewhat mis-representational in that the curve of this composite structure is molded in and I have not yet reached my full body weight. The keen eye may also take note of the clever use of a middle eastern camel saddle being used as the support for the Targa Bar.

As a final note, It's also safe to say that throughout all of written history, this may be the only time that a sentence containing both targa bar and camel saddle has been produced. If I may go further, this may also be the only time that a carbon fiber targa bar has come into actual contact with a sinew laced leather bound middle eastern camel saddle whose marriage resulted in a fine teeter totter which we enjoyed immensely.
