Hi Nick & Wilhelm
The series 2 has the boom furling either through the mast or through
the boom depending on each different Vega. The Series 1 Vega has a
track that is attached to the outside of the mast so the boom can
slide up and down. The sail also goes up a tack slide riveted to the
mast whereas the Series 2 and 3 Vegas have the sail slides going in
the actual mast slide and not a seperate track. What you need Nick is
to ditch the boom furling, attach a short length of track with a new
gooseneck fitting. I have just fitted one so I can raise and lower my
boom by about a foot either way.
Stuck on a pontoon for the last two days in Porstmouth. F5, 6 & 7 NE -
yuk Forecast ok for tomorrow so hopefully get some nice sailing.
Cheers
