[Public-List] Clever, but perhaps not so clever...

Dodger dimensions:17" from companionway hatch to underside of foreward arch48" from bridge deck to top of aft arch66" from cockpit sole to top of aft archThe captain is 6'-10" tall, and that puts the dodger square at my eye height. No issues with the boom clearing this dodger under sail. With the sail stowed the topping lift keeps the boom off the dodger.Sent via the Samsung Galaxy S9, an AT&T 5G Evolution capable smartphone

They know Alberg30like nobody else.I knew that Nat would need to know the comfortable height of my boomabove the companionway in order to most correctly determine the height ofmy dodger… and oh wasn’t I chuckling to myself a month ago about howcleverI am when I remembered to measure that height before I was asked for it.I did measure it… but what did I do with the results of thatmeasurement?  I do recall writing it down on something…So, would any of you southern American brethren who still have theirrigs up care to do me the great favour of sending me the measurementbetween the top of the closed companionway slider, and the underside oftheir boom, and maybe a picture of their boat broadside so I can reckonhowclose your boom at rest is to mine?GordSurprise 426Gordon Lacowww.gordonlaco.com<http://www.gordonlaco.com>705-527-9612_______________________________________________These businesses support your Association:http://www.alberg30.org/store/A30supporters.htmlPlease support them._______________________________________________Public-List mailing listPublic-List at lists.alberg30.orghttp://lists.alberg30.org/listinfo.cgi/public-list-alberg30.org_______________________________________________These businesses support your Association:http://www.alberg30.org/store/A30supporters.htmlPlease support them._______________________________________________Public-List mailing listPublic-List at lists.alberg30.orghttp://lists.alberg30.org/listinfo.cgi/public-list-alberg30.org_______________________________________________These businesses support your Association:http://www.alberg30.org/store/A30supporters.htmlPlease support them._______________________________________________Public-List mailing listPublic-List at lists.alberg30.orghttp://lists.alberg30.org/listinfo.cgi/public-list-alberg30.org_______________________________________________These businesses support your Association:http://www.alberg30.org/store/A30supporters.htmlPlease support them._______________________________________________Public-List mailing listPublic-List at lists.alberg30.orghttp://lists.alberg30.org/listinfo.cgi/public-list-alberg30.org_______________________________________________These businesses support your Association:http://www.alberg30.org/store/A30supporters.htmlPlease support them._______________________________________________Public-List mailing listPublic-List at lists.alberg30.orghttp://lists.alberg30.org/listinfo.cgi/public-list-alberg30.org
