[quote=revintage]Kevin, the image tells it all, you need an outhaul(if the battens are correctly tensioned. So begin with to follow tominpa´s suggestion about the two lowest battens. Maybe you could also choose a stiffer bottom batten?
If going for boom you will need to recut the main and remove the forward flap under the lowest batten. No big operation. As you now have a square top with higher CoE than the original, it will probably be a good solution to loose the few cutaway square inches.
Pete, the Inter boom is absolutely a good option. On my new rebuild of the 5.8 I have a Inter20 main on an alu Tornado mast together with a self tacking Tornado jib. Though I will not use the rather heavy rectangular section, Tornado style, Inter20 boom and instead use 40x2mm round with the system shown above, but without the blocks, only a single sling with a clamcleat.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by revintage on Jan 06, 2022 - 05:24 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
