I bought a Minifish that seems to have not-original mast and booms. The mast is 10' and the spars about 12'6.
I've been experimenting with where to attach the halyard on the upper--either its too low for easy clearance on coming about, or in heavy winds the surrounding sails clips open and the mast ends up (after flipping) between the sail and the upper boom. This makes it impossible to lower the sail of course, among other problems (and potential damages) Any advice on how to find the right spot? Thank you.
