[C320-list] Selden Bowsprit

[Tom Grass]

Regarding Scott's appreciated comments ... the advantage of a Selden
Bowsprit is that it would be removable - so if I can find the necessary
real estate on the bow for the bracket - we should be able to utilize the
anchor locker.  This was the case on our Hunter 260.
