John,
Interesting.  How about what looks like cracks above the arch?  Or is
that some sort of headliner? - rob

Hi all,

 The boat has been in the water for three weeks now and the rigging has
bin
tightened gradually to what I consider normal. In that time the boat has
been hit by several cold fronts sweeping through the area with winds of
30
mph with gusts to 50. I've been out sailing (10 to 15 with gusts) trying
out
my new mainsail from sailcare. and can report no problems aside from
getting
used to some squeaks and groans as the 34 year old cabin adjusts to the
new
load. The interior picture shows the arch under a mast load of approx
1000
lbs.   
120 on the baby stays and 240 on the side stays as measured on the loos
gage.
