Reply To: NC33 Mizzen boom height adjustment

[John Skidmore]

As soon as I bought my 331 I had the mizzen sail reduced to prevent having to pull the boom down, as the mizzen adds very little to propulsion this had no effect on sailing speed. I also fitted a small winch on the mizzen mast that enabled me to get the mizzen fully up, it didn’t seem to matter how hard you pulled on the halyard the sail never went fully up. I even went up the mast with a spare slider to make sure there was no obstruction, this all transformed life at the external helm and the cockpit when not sailing.. John Skidmore
