The triangular loop antenna for sailboats is designed to operate in a groundless
environment and still provide high performance. This type of installation will require
only one insulator point on the bottom back stay and an electrical connection on top of
the mast and the stay. The grounded side of the coupler should be connected to the
bottom of the mast. Although not our best recommendation, this antenna will provide
a workable solution in some installations.
