It is hot, humid & pretty-much windless year-round up there - can't wait to get back to trade-wind or temperate zones.<br /><br />The mainsheet arch is working very well. As you say it frees up cockpit space. It also keeps the mainsheets out of the cockpit and provides an excellent handhold. Eventually we'll replace the dodger canvas with new, which will attach to the arch.<br /><br />Happy Xmas!Mike Reynoldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03273131579894906825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4129388210903066337.post-43934346616737089882013-12-20T07:30:31.370+08:002013-12-20T07:30:31.370+08:00Mike
