disadvantages, of removing the block from the cockpit? How does this affect
stress on the boom and sail shape? Are there drawings and descriptions of
how todo it and equipment/Hardware needed?

1. It opens up the bridge deck for seating, and gets the block out of the
way when you crawl in and out of the cabin.

2. It gets the sheet out of your passenger's face (my wife said thanks).

3. The directions are under "Potter Modicfications on the Web page. It
doesn't affect sail shape or sailing characteriestics as long as you have a
boom vang (as Dave Kautz noted).
