shorter

im about to rise the mast this morning , and the marks on the lower shrouds were erased. I guess the longer ones goes aft because the mast rake is 6 inch forward? made a mast step hinge and rigging to self step the mast, will post pics after I rise the mast this morning.

My standard rig E-29, which I bought 6 weeks ago, has a boom of 10' instead of the 12 ' boom (it was replaced about 20 years ago after the original boom broke). As I'm planning to get a new mainsail, I would like to know if e-29 owners in the SF Bay Area feel like they are easily overpowered...
