Rick (and Dave):

Thanks for the replies. Yes, Ed would be my first choice to have these made
-- he does fine work. The problem at the moment is my friends are at a very
roll-y anchorage in Mexico and unable to actually go aloft and get the
dimensions. After talking to them this morning, I think they will have to
go aloft once they reach a more stable location before this can be sorted
out.

Again, thanks for the advice.

Best Regards,

Shane
