[Rhodes22-list] Bow Chocks

[Stephen Staum]

Thanks Graham. I can easily use thru bolts in that position. I was thinking that I had to mount on the outer raised edge & the interior must be disassembled to create access to the bolts. As long as your position will keep the pennants clear of the forestay strap, I am good to do it there.
