Standard Main sail on tallrig C30

[John]

HI guys , my boat has a standard main sail on aT/R mast. my boat survayer mist this at my survay when I bought the boat. my jib is on aCDI R/F and its a 150% T/R sail.The boat tracks ok up wind If my traveler is pulled to the windword side ( all the way) .I thought I would trade the main in and get the right sail for the boat. It was alittle tricky at first with the 150% jib up frount and the standard rig main sail .I am a little unbalanced .What do you think I should do ?Should my main sail be on the boom or to the top of my mast, should I move my boom up alittle to try to balance things out I want to Instole a bimmi and some extra boom hight would be nice. I was talking to a sail maker about cuting alittle off the main to get the bimmi up a bit.I have a tall doger and it would be nice to see between them when I am siting at the wheel Im in the water in two weeks JohnOlson

You should have a mainsail custom built to be evrything you want. Proper size, and cut to meet your bimini height, and correct reef locations. The boat will look proper, and you will be much happier.There are plenty of C-30 std rig owners that would, I'm sure, buy your used main, depending on condition.
