I bet it's quiet at that brace height   ;)

If you look at the picture where the bow is flat on the deck, it looks like the brace is the same as two widths of the decking.  If it is a standard 2x6 (5 1/2 actual width) cedar decking, the brace is about 10-11".  

I wonder how much longer the string would need to be in order to lower to a more realistic 8"?
