Hi Dwight In its normal position is a vertical line from traveler to boom bail. With it aft is angled. Aft requires longer sheet and angles make it slightly less ideal for trimming.
The other issue is that cockpit is cramped and with the bail aft the sheet tends to interfere with the main trimmer more than with it forward over the bridge deck Mike From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of dwight veinot via CnC-List Sent: Thursday, June 28, 2018 11:14 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: dwight veinot Subject: Re: Stus-List Securing bimini frame with Shock cord 33-2 Mike what is the problem with the boom bail being a foot or so farther aft. I intentionally moved it aft on my 35 MKII which also has a bridgedeck traveller for the main sheet On Thu, Jun 28, 2018 at 10:49 AM Hoyt, Mike via CnC-List <cnc-list@cnc-list.com<mailto:cnc-list@cnc-list.com>> wrote: Hi Dave Persistence also has a dodger, bimini and connector. The Frers 33 has almost identical cockpit and layout to 33-2. On Persistence the bimini connector also can only be used when main is not in use and we have to move mainsheet to toe rail. On Persistence we cannot the main sheet is also interfered with by dodger as we have bridge deck traveler in same location as 33-2. Actually the Frers traveler is forward on the bridge deck where the 33-2 is a couple of inches further aft. The boom bail must be moved aft one foot when sailing with dodger compared to ideal position where it is located when dodger is not on the boat. Not sure if this is an option for you. I could send pictures if you are interested. Note that the dodger, bimini and connector are not on the boat at this time as it is mostly racing time for us this time of year but that canvas is certainly nice for cruising and deliveries!
