[C320-list] Asymmetric Spinnaker - Selden Bow Sprit Bracket

[Rod Boer]

Hi Tom,

I have been racing on a C320 with a Seldon Bow Sprit bracket for the last two years.  When I was at the marina a couple of days ago I took a picture of the installation with my phone. If you provide me with your phone number, mine is 267-966-7782, I will send the picture of the bracket which shows where it is attached. I know the owner spent quite a while researching the location.

Thanks Lou.  I'm somewhat at a loss as to where else to mount the Selden
bowsprit bracket on the 320.   Have you seen any that are mounted to the
top of the deck?
