Boom Gallow idea
Thanks Brion..........This is a unique approach; I suppose it would look something like the arch/sheeting arrangement on some of the Hunters. I also thought of using the aft end of the stoboom but that would mean a block/anchor point on each side of the cockpit if I wanted to avoid a traveler. The initial idea was to get the mainsheet out of the cockpit in order to install a bimini and awning connection to the aft end of the dodger. As you said, it is a less than desireable setup.
I have the original boom and have occassionaly thought to replacing the stoboom with it, but then I would need a new mainsail. Oh well. Love these challenges. I could leave well enough alone, but ......
At any rate, thanks Brion Toss for taking the time to repond to my questions.
