Wind generator pole stabilizers

I've repurposed my radar mounting pole for a wind generator and although it's relatively stable as it is, I want to add a couple stabilizers. My current thinking is to have 2 SS tubes connected to the pole with mast straps (like in the photo) and to my stern rail with something that doesn't involve drilling. Is there anything like that available off the shelf? Or anybody has any better ideas on how to make those stabilizers?

Thanks in advanceClick image for larger version

Re: Wind generator pole stabilizers

You should be able to get most or all at a local marine or canvas shop.
However not sure of mounting the stabilizer to the railing though. Might be better to go to a reinforced deck/hulll mount point, the toerail for example.
In general you want a really solid mount to counter vibration.

There are no local shops that stock those fittings here. I've been looking online but couldn't find anything similar to those mast straps on the picture. Do you know of anything like that?

I should be able to secure at least one of the stabilizers to the deck
