[C38] Symetrical Spinnakers

Fri Aug 3 11:07:35 EDT 2012

We picked up stock aluminum tubing to match the base we were going to
mount it into, added our accessories and customizations, had it powder
coated and up she went, figured in the end I saved about $300,  talk to
a welder, you might be able to add an extension to the bottom of yours

Steve,
    Thanks - now how do I go from a 6 foot post to a 10 foot one? I have
lots of xtra cable. I guess I have to discard this one and build the ten
foot out of aluminum. It would be way easier if I could cut the co-ax.

	Joe,

	When I did my post I did the calculations so that the bowman
assuming he is six feet tall would be missed by the beam, our post is 10
tall and mounted so the base is where the fuel line vent use to be.   If
I remember correctly the angle off the the radome for the beam is 2-2.5
degrees

	we have another rigging issue.We let the idiot "rigger" for the
local J boat dealer install our radar. He put it on a post 6 feet above
the deck. We are afraid to use it for fear of radiation damage. Any
thoughts? Joe

		Jay are you using the external spin block or an internal
one say your spare jib haylard, that could be a problem.
