When it hits you in the head, you discover why they call it the "boom".

Have you heard if there's any specific pattern to the mast lengths (different lengths in different years, etc.)?

I saw on a blog that the M-15 has 2 different mast heights possible. the MSOG specs call for 16.83' for the p. which I read fits ok on the 19'6" mast. We have the 19'2" mast which is supposed to be the other common length mast. I decided to shorten the p. length by 4" because I do not want the boom hitting me in the head. This should come close to the size of main we have now. Harry was excellent to work with and EPsails are made in the U.S.A. The sail is a Christmas present from my daughter so I will not know how this works out until then. Jim & Diane Une Petite Sialia M-15, #414
