I have been sailing about 2 months and loving it. I aquired an old sunfish that needed little restoration. I have been sailing with the gooseneck and haylard settings set by the previous owner, which had the boom rather high. I barely need to duck on a tack. Out of curiousity mostly, I have made adjustments to lower the boom to see if the boat performs better. However, I now find it difficult to see under the boom for other boats, etc. In fact, after a couple hours of sailing, my neck feels it from crouching to see. The sail does not have a window. Is it feasible to install a window? Or, am I better off raising the boom back up and enjoy. My sailing is recreational, so not worried about class legal. I have researched the forum some, but didn't find a lot on this. Thanks for any words of advice.
