Lenny and I are interested in determining the differences in the
boom height among the 382 and the 383/4 M38s and would like to
request a 382 member to measure the distance between the top of
the coach roof and the boom. This past weekend I made this
measurement on Njord my 384. The distance between the coach roof
and the pin on the goose neck which allows the boom to pivot up
and down was 48 inches. The distance between the coach roof and
the pin which holds the mainsail tack was 51 inches. Any 382
owners who make this measurement should try to duplicate the same
location on the goose neck. I realize that the booms which
Morgan used may be different or modified but the difference in
distance should be, I believe, between 1 and 2 feet. Thanks in
advance for any input.
