Well, I think I found a solution. Slacked my jack line a bit to allow for a bit extra sail hoist. It now clears even when sheeted tight. Only 1/2" or so clearance, but it works.

looks great delvi,ive managed to find one in the UK that i like,the deal is that they send you the frame,and you adjust it to your sizing,send them the measurements and they make the cover.
its on my list and the wifes too

Glad to hear you found a solution.
Looks good on there also.
Still can't decide which one I will get or when, but with Dowsar so close to me, I am kind of biased in their direction.

bastonjock,
Why not just order the whole unit? Blue water yacths has it for $650 US which is dirt cheap when you pay in pounds
Not certain if they ship to the UK, but I don't see why not, since the customer picks up the freight anyway. If you're interested, call Gail at Blue water Yachts. (206) 282-4261
Cheers,
L.

the problem with that delvi is the tax,i end up paying an extra 10% import tax and a firther 17.5% Vat,that takes it up to about $850.00 plus shipping
so with the way the pound is going against the dollar its a bit more expensive
i have not written the possibility off yet

1 pound = $1.97
$1 = .508 pounds, or....
$650 = 330.50 pounds + 10% + 17.5% = 421 pounds
No?

Anybody knows what's going on in that Blue Water Yachts? So hard to get in contact with them! Should I bomb them with e-mails to get answer? It's just not decent!
