[Rhodes22-list] Boom Room Update as of April 2nd

[Slim]

Art,

Way to go!  You're doing a good job on this.  Your design looks like it's
less complicated and easier to set up than mine.

A few questions:  It looks like your main sheet is a little slack.  What's
going on there?  Is it the back panel itself that tensions against the
topping lift?  

You've probably answered this before but how are the side and back panels
attached to the roof?

I like the slot cutout for the tiller, but that means it has to be
stabilized inside the tent, right?  In doing so, can you still access the
laz?

In the shot of the bow, I'm not sure what I'm looking at.  I see what looks
like some clear plastic and some blue rip stop across the front of the PT.
Is that integrated with the main structure?

How easy is it to step out of the cockpit onto the side decks if you want to
go out to the bow? 

Keep up the good work!

Slim
