Hi Shannon,

Well your timing is pretty good .... the snow just finished melting around my yard where my P19MX is stored .... it was buried pretty deeply through the month of February!!!! (I live in the mid-atlantic area were all that snow fell this year)

Anyway, my tramp pouch is located on the "topside" .... but I've seen/heard of them being installed on the bottom side. I'll try and get the boat cover off the boat since the weather has "broken" and take some pic's w/ measurements. Another use of the pouch is I coil/roll the rigging up and store it in the pouch when the mast is down and I'm trailering the boat somewhere.

I have (4) reinforced sheeting points per side on the tramp ... a inboard - outboard set with a second set just a little further aft. Each sheeting point consist of (2) closely spaced grommets that have a piece of 1/4" line looped through (I'm going to change these to spectra/dyneema/vectra at some point in the future). On my jib sheet blocks I have installed a "spinnacker snap shackle" ... this allows me to quickly move/adjust the jib sheeting point. Also I've installed a D-Shackle w/ captive pin replacing the lowwest clevis pin for the shroud. This allows a additional further outboard sheeting point for when I sailing downwind (note: the D-shackle eliminates the possiblity of "loosing" the lowwest clevis pin ... I've done that once and luckily discovered it just before I tacked back and would have lost the mast ... I think I pulled the Clevis Ring out w/ the mainsheet/traveler when it wrapped around the shroud on the previous tack ... I now use shroud covers or rigging tape that also prevent that from happening now.

PS: If you see a set of Smythe P19 sails w/ the sail#86, I sold them a number of years ago to a Mr Tatten down near Bownsville Texas when I upgraded to the MX sailplan. Say Hi to him for me .... but since Texas is HUGE ....
