got it made at Saturn sails in Largs marina, well worth it. It does have a drawback when its up, pulling up the mainsail after that its fine :)
Should have done it years ago

The canopy was £2700 and I changed the spray hood £1000 at the same time didn't see the point in putting a new canopy onto a 10 year old spray hood incase it parted company

As I said well worth it with our climate.

Is it easy to fix the two bottom bungees to the bottom rear entrance with the seat in place?

I don't use my rear seat, but it would be awkward to use the bungees

It's easy enough on my B36(2002), unzip the rear panel, lean out and the bungee cords are within reach, put them in place and then zip up. Releasing the adjacent bungee cords on the panels either side of the rear access panel provides a little extra space if you need it while leaning out.
