tabernacle fo cape dory 28 HELP !!!!

[paul]

I am going to set up my mast for a cape dory 28 for tabernacle as the harbor I am in
has a low bridge. I would appreciate any advise and help on what to
watch out for.

I plan to use double toggles at the height of the pivot point on the
mast to both main shrouds. Set up lines from pivot points to boom.
Set up holddowns from pivot point to aft lower shrouds. Upgrade
topping lift and tie it to boom. Topping lift will be used to slowly
let mast down when backstay is released, two aft lower shrouds are released.

I will use stay loks from side main shrouds to pivot points so
when I need to I can use a stay lok connector to eliminate the
pivot points.

I have a CD 28, and have been interested in installing a
tabernacle. I'd like to know how your project turns out.
