We just purchased a Typhoon daysailer and want to make a boom tent. Does anyone have the specs?

Re: Typhoon Daysailer Boom Tent
I had a boom tent made for my Typhoon daysailer last year. My Ty is a 1965 model. I don't know how much difference there may be in the critical dimensions between my model and yours, so hear is what I suggest we do. Email me the following dimensions. If my boats dimensions match yours, I'll email you a photo my by tent and the tent dimenisons.
1. Distance from back of mast to aft end of boom.
2. Distance from end of boom to back stay measured in the same horizontal plain as the boom.
3. Distance from center of boom to the toe rail measured at 4 locations - (measure the length of the boom and divide by 4) a - forward end of boom, b - aft end of boom, c - 1/4 of the overall boom length aft of the mast, d - 1/4 of the overall boom length forward of the aft end of the boom.
These are the dimensions I took to a convas maker. The tent was cut 2" narrower than the boom to toe rail dimension. The length is 2" shorter than the back stay to mast dimension and it's a perfect fit. There is is slit for the topping lift, too.
