Capri 14.2 Standard Sail Size?

Does anyone know what the standard "luff" length is on the Capri 14.2?
My sail is not the original, although it has the C14 symbol on it. I don't think the mast is original either. The sheave at the mast head is oversized and not incorporated into the mast body as it would be on a standard mast. And the mast is completely foam filled.
The mast is 20'-2" and the sail luff is about 18' +/-. A little math tells you that I have NO head room between my skull and a swinging boom! Is this typical of standard or stock 14.2's? Or do I have some type of racing rig? Still working the bugs out but she's much faster than I had expected...

This is the detailed handbook for the C14 including the sail plan and pretty much all other dimensions.

I can say right now though that the Capri was meant to be a family boat and there should be plenty of headroom in the boat with regard to the boom. When you raise the mainsail it should be about five inches from the top of the mast.
