<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Any help will be appreciated.</FONT></DIV>
