[Alberg30] Boom Height

[Peers Pendlebury]

I find the height of the boom on my recently purchased Alberg 30 inconveniently low. It sits about 56" above the cockpit sole so is always in the way. It is possible to raise it a little but not enough to prevent head bumping - I am 5'10 so not too tall. The dodger has been built around this height and is only 53" high making it difficult to climb under it into the cabin. Is this a unique problem to my boat or is this just how it is? Are there any suggestions on how to adjust the boom and mainsail to about 6ft above the sole without affecting performance too much?
Any help will be appreciated.
