{}#yiv6414387332 Randy, it is pretty evident that your boom is longer than what
the later boats have. My boom extends only back as far as the wide spots in the
coaming where the winches are mounted. Yours is longer, probably because your
boat has end-boom sheeting. The later boats are sheeted about two feet in front
of the end of the boom to a traveler which is between the seats and immediately
aft of the cockpit hatch covers. Yours appears to have a traveler across the
back of the boat. Just measure the foot of your sail and then compare it to
the specifications on the C&C web site, I think you have an extra long boom,
not a short sail. Gary30-1 #593 From: CnC-List
[mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Randy Stafford via CnC- I
posted a few pictures from my first race in my new-to-me 30-1 (hull #7) last
Wednesday night at
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B-NqAxQ6JxFTeUlmcm1IX1c5ZHc You can see the
foot of my mainsail is considerably shorter than my boom. I'm wondering if
that's "normal" for 30-1s (or other C&Cs for that matter). It doesn't really
look normal judging by brochure photos and drawings. A previous owner had also
raised the boom at least a foot from its original height, as the C&C itself did
on later C&C 30s. When I get a new mainsail I'd like to increase its area by
both returning the boom to its original height, and increasing the length of
mainsail's foot. I'm thinking more area equals more power equals more speed.
And I can live with a lower boom. Any words of wisdom to share?
