Do you have pictures?jim nolan wrote:In spring 2012 on my morining walks, I spotted two pieces of 1 3/4 painted white aluminum pipe. I think they were for the top of a pool swim ladder. They were u shaped and I made them more v shaped. I bolted them to the bottom of my boom ( not so easy) and topped them off with whiffle balls. I have my main halyard and downhaul on a loop. So now I can lower the main from the helm. I havent been on the cabin top to lower the sail since. They go on and off with a wing nut, but I leave them on all season. jim
