Actually, that's what I ended up doing this afternoon. Another bulkhead question. With the front bulkhead installed, when I trial fit the deck, the deck...

George, Thanks for the vang tips. Well the upgraded vang worked out okay. Too bad it's so heavy. I was really liking the sails though. The wind was very...
