Thanks for the feedback.

We used a snatch block on the rail and after moving around a bit ended up a couple of holes aft of the uppers.

:: Mine and most of the boats I see around RYC the twings
:: come off the rail about even with or slightly forward of
:: the aft lowers. SDK
::
:: :: Mine are mounted very close to the widest part of the
:: :: boat. It lines up with the 2nd screw from the front of
:: :: of forward window. It's been there for ages and I doubt
:: :: any science was applied to the positioning.
:: ::
:: :: :: Getting the new boat ready for our first Wednesday
:: :: :: nighter and I'm wondering where the best place to put
:: :: :: the twings on the rail - just aft of the shrouds or
:: :: :: further back closer to the widepoint?
