Thanks for all the great feedback on this. On my boat
Thanks for all the great feedback on this. On my boat as with some of the
others the goose neck is attached with a bunch of machine screws - not
welded so I expect it should be straight forward to move it up - simply
drill and tap new holes in the mast. I could put some screws in the old
holes

Hi Nathan,
A previous owner raised the boom on my 30-1 by exactly one foot, comparing
former and current gooseneck bracket hole patterns on the mast, probably as a
safety and comfort choice. Later HINs than mine (I have hull #7) came from the
factory with that modification - the boom a foot

All,
Having sailed our 1981 C 34 a few times and while looking into having a
dodger and bimini made for her I am considering raising the boom about 8 to 10
inches. Good idea or bad idea? Has anyone done this on their boat?
We are only planning on
I considered doing this because I am 6’ 3” and did not want to get hit in the
head with the boom. My sailmaker convinced me to raise the clew on the sail so
the boom now has a slight angle but clears my head in the rear near the wheel.
You might be able to get away with this option depending
I think Touche's boom has been raised. The bracket is attached with
machine screws. There is a separate pattern of fastener holes below the
bracket which may be the original location. It appears to have been raised
4-5 inches.
Although I have no way to compare before and after, the boat sails
Also consider the added difficulty handling the mainsail - Flaking on the
boom, removing or installing on the boom, operations if you have a sail
cover or stack pack.
How would you move the mast to boom fixture, the "goose neck"? What scar
would remain? Mine is welded.
