[Rhodes22-list] Locking the Pop-Top?

[Mary Lou Troy]

We used a rail mounted fender hanger to snap over the horizontal bar on 
the poptop and ran a line from that to a jam cleat on the side of the 
center board trunk. Kept the line on the hanger so it was easy to remove 
and install. Also used it as part of our storm prep to ensure that the 
poptop stayed down.

Don't have a photo but here is the fender hanger.

And the jam cleat
