[alberg30] Boom gallows location, dog house windows

[FINNUS505 at aol.com]

Hi Greg,
In this book I'm reading, about the Vertue 35, there is a diagram for the
gallows placement. The Vertue's main is roller furling, so the mainsheet  is
attached to a rolling bale at the very  end of the boom, like ours.  The
gallows appears to be fitted about one foot or so forward of the end of the
boom.  Can't see how it WOULD'NT catch the mainsheet on a tack or a jibe.  
Let's hear from people who have them, please.

Second Question: Has anyone replaced the aluminum frames and doghouse windows
with 1/2 " or heavier Lexan, the Lexan overlapping the window hole, and
bolting the Lexan to the cabin side?  All in an effort to get a stronger
doghouse window for offshore work, of course. 
Thanks friends,
