[Public-List] Biminis and Raising the Boom

During the discussion about Dodgers and Biminis there was mention about
raising the boom. Are there any suggestions for how to best accomplish this?

On my mast there 2 tracks, one that the sail hanks on and one the boom
rides on.
 There is about 4 inches between them. when hoisting the sail the boom
rises until it reaches the boom stop ( a bolt head at the top of the boom
track).  Tightening the downhaul brings the boom down 2 - 2 1/2 inches.

I am thinking that I would need to move the boom track up several inches
and remove an equal amount off of the bottom of the sail track.  I would
also need to lower the headboard on the sail.

Is my thinking correct or is there a better way?

As always all advice is greatly appreciated.
