It's all built in and flush under the deck.
We molded the flange that is built into the hardtop base off the upstand on the boat. It should just drop straight on, then we will through bolt it

Good to hear sounds like you will be ready by summer to cut lines for a while ( at least for summer. )
Afterall summer doesn't offically start untill June 20th this year.

We are sailing from the UK back to the Caribbean. Crossing number 7. Looking forward to having better protection from the sun and elements this time. We will work out way down to the Canaries and cross in December
