[Rhodes22-list] Last Sail before Dry-Docking

[Mary Lou Troy]

Rod,
We've had ours both ways and prefer it with the longest pole forward. 
Ours is a fixed mount (not on a track). I think this lets it overlap 
the raised pop-top a bit more. When leave the boat and store it in 
its cover, we raise the boom and bungee the covered bimini to it.

Best,
Mary Lou
