[Rhodes22-list] The deed is done....

[Mary Lou Troy]

Interesting, I'm 5 ft. and can juuuuust reach although I sometimes 
have to wiggle things around to get the pin to pop into place. When 
we got our used pop-top enclosure we found to our surprise that the 
enclosure didn't reach the deck at the aft end so we drilled new 
holes in the stainless tube supports to lower the aft end a bit - 
actually, it leveled the pop-top out - it originally raised with the 
mast end lower than the aft end. The helm seat is a nice idea since 
you have the wheel. With the tiller, I could use one on each side but 
have opted for cushions.

Best,
Mary Lou
