Had a great week of sailing last week out of New Bedford, to Elizabeth Islands and to Martha's Vineyard. I've got a rigging question. My boat is 1980 E-25+, furling genoa. When genoa is out, it is (in almost all circumstances) pushed right into the pulpit rail. So the bottom couple feet of the sail is perpetually restricted by the pulpit, with the rest doing what the sail should do. Is this just the way it has to be or do I raise the entire sail higher (with the furling drum?) in an attempt to get sail flying over the pulpit rail? Any comments appreciated.
