M_Boats: Gaff rig progress

Doug: Thanks for the update on your gaff rig. While I have no problem understanding what it is that you are doing, thanks to your great pictures and drawings, I get lost in trying to understand the issues that your bowsprit and the bobstay introduce when it comes to trailering your new rig. Could you be kind enough to expound on how you visualize dealing with the bowsprit and the bobstay while trailering or do you perhaps propose dismounting the bowsprit for trailering? Where were you able to find someone to fabricate your stainless for you? This is certainly providing an education to a lot of people besides myself, I am sure. Jim Desnoyers Ketchum, Idaho
