In Response To: Measurements (pic) (Doug91mac26s)

You might be interested in this. I keep my gin pole and all it's tackle fastened to the stantions when not in use. Works fine, doesn't get in the way. I don't have to put it in the tow vehicle or stow it below.

I use pulpit anchors to attach it at both ends.

Here's what it looks like stowed on the stantions.

Here you can see the angle of the gin pole & tackle connected to the bow cleat while raising.

Here you can see how slack they are when the mast is up. I just leave them connected like that.

Hope this helps!
