Wont work with ours..It is not designed to stow in any way shape or form.

Takes about 2 hours to install or disassemble and a lot of grumbling and need for multibal beers at the end...

Been out in 47 knt winds with out so mush as more then a slight quiver out of it..Dont think I have to worry to much about it up to about 60.

It's not as bad as I might have made it sound..it just puts me into that vulnerable position where my back could go out...so I am just really mind full of it..and plan my steps so Im not jumping in and out of the cockpit a lot for needless reasons...like trimming a sail or some silly thing like that....
