I agree completely. I've been hoping to see some pics since hearing of there installing the paravanes.
I've wanted to see the retrieval mechanism mentioned since their original post.
We have them and use them extensively but I'm still working on a better system for deployment and retrieval as well as a system for varying depth and self-storage.
I'm working on a reply to another listee re: this.
Hope to see pics,
John

<SNIP> I am curious and hopeful, and I think many are, to see some photos of Idlewild with the new paravanes.
