Mast

I'm going to add what someone thought on another forum board.
"Does seem odd that it is SO far off.

Its not only the space, but the number of turns on the worm drum at the bottom (or lack thereof) which would also prevent a wider sail - the whole thing is wrong.

I may be jumping to conclusions but
Could it be off e.g. some sort of Ketch rig -
You say 4' short on a 10' boom?
A 6' boom wouldnt seem to make any sense otherwise?

Possible someone ordered as an aftermarket kit (incorrect) - with the mast level in the yard something like that could be fitted in an afternoon and still have time to down a six pack or two before the pubs opened."

I think I should have gone to the pub instead of buying this boat.
