Thanks Shawn. The boom is longer than the main’s foot because of the way the outhaul works. It’s a screw-drive with a little hand crank on the aft end of the boom, taking some 12” of E dimension. It works that way because the boom was originally designed for roller-reefing - there’s a crank near the gooseneck that rolls the boom. Mine can’t do that anymore, with the vang I installed, and some previous owner installed padeyes and cheek blocks for slab reefing (which is fine with me). I got a new mainsail this year, and got maybe one or two inches more foot length, but that screw-drive outhaul is the foot-length limiter.
