Steve,
     We have a post off the stern but I let the installer talk me into 
making it too low. We hardly ever use the thing because of worry about 
radiation. Joe

The weld on the port forward stanchion broke from hanging on it during the race while steering.   We are also going to take off the bow rail to have it straightened, an unseemly bend in it that came with the boat.

When we tack a big sail it grabs the gimball rotates the radome 90 degrees and bends it so that when it comes back to level it is pointing down rather than level.  This is the second time it has happened.  Im considering a post off the stern and would love suggestions and opinions from the list.
