Oh Captain, My Captain Neal,

I have inadvertantly deleted your reply and indeed our entire thread
regarding the instrument bar that swings from the nav station to the
companionway. Please report it, thank you.

You meant REPOST it, I presume? (are you a blond?)

Here it is:

I used a stainless steel bolt to bolt the end of the teak board to the bottom of
the instrument enclosure. The bolt is an inch or an inch and a half towards
port from the vertical surface near the companionway of the instrument enclosure.
Nothing complicated about it at all. The board swings under and lays parrallel to
the bottom of the instrument enclosure. There are a couple pics that show it on
my website.

and . . .

Dave,

There are very few people in this pathetic group who appreciate
fine workmanship and innovation. Most of them are satisfied with
stock junk such as ugly pilot houses, mickey mouse keels, roll-up
sails, plastic milk jugs on their head sails, etc.

Thanks for the good words. At least there is one other smart
person on this group besides me.
