StartingPointResto
This is what we started with 2 years ago. Sailed it, pretty much as-is with new rigging and lines (and no "Big Kahuna").

General shot on trailer; looking closely, you can see shroud "protectors"; surfboard pads meant to go on luggage racks, but say "KO Sailing", ironically...

WiresInBag1
This actually is way cleaner a solution than it appears, and very quick. Needs custom bags with mesh to allow rigging to be rinsed and dried. That's next.

Cut out epoxied in place - the tape is a Compac/heat reflective pure aluminum (no plastic) tape with a high strength acrylic adhesive. Sticks and conforms excellently. Worked great. Will use 2 angle pieces next time.
