Hi Dean

My setup is a little awkward for scanning in that I have to borrow my work's scanner and only use it at night etc., etc., so I'm going to beg off. Espec. since a long weekend is coming up and I'm outa here!

And the truth is that my sketches are more ideas than designs. And your description is more than adequate to get the idea across to all of us. Just think of how appropriate it would fit into Grant Goltz' arrow shaft strip pattern in his Loon-St bow or stern.

It also is conceptually similar(same?) as the ideas in dwg 12 of the mike stand and of surfyak.(Tie down is obviously diff.)
