Structural Concept
The vessel will have four ten feet long tubes held together by an aluminum structure. Each of the three aluminum surfaces shown in the picture on the left will be covered with 159 mm square solar cells, as represented by the black square. An aluminum wedge structure will be on the front to cut through the water, and the Minn-Kota trolling motor will be on the rear end of the vessel. The motor will be on a shaft that will rotate for steering 120 degrees.
