Hello,
I am new to sailing and have some questions as to rigging on the C22; specifically the boom and how it connects to the mast. Any assistance or help is greatly appreciated.
1. How is the gooseneck of the boom supposed to be connected?
In my boat there is a simple screw and bolt being used, and it does not look right to me. Can someone explain or show how this is supposed to be?
2. My boom appears to be set a little high to me. There seems to be a set screw that limits how low the boom will be in the mast, or hight above cockpit. When I look at it the top of the boom appears to be in the gate of the mast, and is coming out a little bit. Should I lower the set screw an inch or two to ensure the boom resides completely in the mast?
