Giro,

Looking at your personal page I see you have the compete Mills "Flying Top and Forward Shelter set"....

The Flying Top is smaller than the Sun Top.
The Sun Top is about 6 feet long from Mills.

Mills sells the later style of Sun Top that sits outside the rails.
You do however need to tell them you want the later style if you order from Mills.

I always preferred to have the Sun Top outside the rails.
See Bill's personal page here

My top also sat outside the rails but I never got around to mounting the sliders on top of the gunwale.
See the 3rd photo on this page for my prior Montauk.
