Yep, Mac, appeared that way to me too. Didn't even need the bowsprit
to slip in, but the powers disagreed. Motors don't count in their
world. Bowsprit sounds good, though ... if I can find a way to fit it
in with the anchor roller, 2nd anchor rail mount, jib downhaul
hardware, spinnaker & sock control lines' hardware, vent, & all the
other gronk I've mounted on the foredeck.
