Fitting all the modern cruising conveniences on the back of a small classic boat presented some challenges.  Boom support, solar panels, and cockpit covering was a must for us.  We could not use a ridged vang because our dinghy will be stored under the boom, so boom gallows fit the bill, and the look of the boat.  A solar arch built in the same style as the boom gallows seemed to tie everything together.  the two structures together provide a way to install a sun shade without having all the bimini hardware.
