I think that's too much rig for my boat!
Now that was one bad bad cat!

Note the lack of x-bracing! ;-)

I'm gonna try to keep from having x bracing, if I can.
I want my rig to demount quickly ....
passing thru some "filters" such as low bridges, under downed trees,
and stuff of that nature I want a quick transformation.
Some places I'll have to "transform" into a narrow boat.
The upper St. Mary's river I'd suspect I'll be doing that ....
but the boat and rigging has to be strong first so .......
I'm also on another forum chatting about my folding cross beams .....
I can't wait to put at least a model together to show you guys,
and to show me, that is all works.
I may have to wing it together with 2x4 technology just to model it,
and that may help direct my thought process a bit better in which
what direction I should go and take.
I do have several different ideas going ........
but monday is a work day and I got product to get out the door ......
got to make the business float, before my boat can float!
