[Rhodes22-list] Solar Vent Installation in Pop Top

[Reuben Mezrich]

Jesse
Thanks...I was just following your lead

The eye is part of the assembly for a self-tacking jib which is a project
still in process. To his everlasting sorrow Stan took up the challenge of
creating one for me. To compound the problem I snatched the boat out of his
hands before he had finished and as it turns  out the first draft of the
project didn't work as I had hoped. Knowing Stan he will modify the design
and I look forward to reporting on it when it does arrive.
