[Rhodes22-list] trailer camping and anti-sway bar

[Mary Lou Troy]

Hey Rick,
If you don't have any pictures of that, the next time you use your 
mast stub and lash it to the mast take a picture. I think I know what 
you are saying -that you lash the plate to the mast which is on the 
bow pulpit and mast crutch but would love to see the set-up. Sounds 
like an excellent solution. Sounds like there is room for the pop-top 
to be raised under the mast when it's on the bow pulpit and crutch. 
When we used to do something similar, we used some sort of wooden 
substitute for the mast (maybe a 4x4?) but the mast was off the boat.
