Don: The stern pulpit/bimini I put on Vanilla is a compromise on access to the boarding ladder and to fueling the outboard. I'm small (5'6"), so it isn't too much of a problem for me.

Gary You're right. I did add the jib downhaul after having a problem holding the jib down in strong winds. There are many times I wish I had had Bob install the stern pulpit. Its also a great place to mount your antennas, flag pole, etc but I had concerns with it getting in the way of fueling the Honda and going over the stern ladder.
