Yeah, I'm with Bob and Dave on this. You'll never regret a new sail from EP. They are just "over the top" impressive. And not all that expensive either.

I would want to show you how I set up the mainsheet on the boom end. If I can't find any examples of that I will take some pictures next time out which will be in a couple of weeks. Maybe Gary Hyde will read this and give you some idea of how he did his. What I like about his set-up is that he mounted it to the track on the railing saving a few holes and fittings on the boat. I don't think we can attached pictures on this forum so if you send your e-mail to me a j_ellsworth@earthlink.net I will send you back some pictures. I see your are talking with Dorothy and Eldor about their boom tent. I was on the San Juan trip with them and that boom tent sure made for a bunch more room. Take care, Jim -----Original Message----- From: montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com [mailto:montgomery_boats-bounces@mailman.xmission.com] On Behalf Of Jim Wiliams Sent: Monday, April 12, 2010 2:14 PM To: MSOG Subject: M_Boats: Bimini for M17 Hey, Jim, thanks for the info on your bimini -- do you have a photo and dimensions that you could forward? Sorry we missed seeing Grace (and bimini) in Havasu, but there was just too much to absorb, I guess. Cynthia is planning to make a boom tent for the cockpit, so that will handle the dock/anchored situation, but we do want something to keep the sun off while underway. Also, we are seriously looking at the SoCal Catalina trip in June.
