Thanks to Bill & Eric, the mystery is solved! Duane

Ryan, I looked at ours (see the photo I uploaded) and the top of the plexiglass slides into a slot at the top of the window opening that is then caulked. I think it's the same thickness as the one tha

Olivier, Thank you so much for the very clear explanation. We do have the orange stormsail. It appears to have never been used. I'm going to get it out and put it up to see if all the gear is ready to
