spray hood also trysail track, 411
Hi all - want to put a spray hood on her, foldable, oval window to see out forward, off white maybe - any tips would be appreciated. I also bought a trysail among other sails, and I am debating a separate track, vs using the primary (then having to de-track the main - a PITA in an emergency perhaps), tips on this detail also appreciated. My final project will be the AIS, which I will try with a separate VHF antenna and see how that goes this summer before going for the radar.

In the words of our friend Matteo, Fair Winds -

Dear Geoff,

attached is one of the famous Rod Stephens Type Plan, which he was so generous to give to who asked, hope you can get some advise from this design

Geoff, Tip, I have put a window onto the top of the hood as well. It lets a lot more light down into the cabin.
