David - Do you put a strip of velcro at the mast base and one on the topping lift to keep it out of the way when not raised? In the past we ran the topping lift through the aft jaws, but inevitably, when the bowman pulled it out 50% of the time had it wrapped around the pole the wrong way. Also - how do you handle the foreguy? Is it run aft or do you also put a cleat on the mast?
