[Rhodes22-list] Radar?

[Thomas s]

Peter,

After watching a bit of the video, instead of the cutout for the boom, could you not have simply made the mast crutch a few inches higher?
Was there some factor driving a hard-maximum height?

Mike,

Since my boat is at home on the trailer, it was easy to snap a few pics, which hopefully will be attached.

There is also, of course, a YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMTMRPYyom8
