This weekend I switched out my Tall Rig Mainsail with a Standard Rig Mainsail to increase the boom height for a bimini. I am happy to report it worked beautifully and allowed me to raise the boom overhead (I am 6'1"). I was expecting to notice a difference in speed and heeling but if there was any I couldn't tell. This weekend we had winds varying for light to 20 mph and she perfromed well in all conditions. I suspect that is due to the boat deriving most of its power from the headsail.

Anyone interested in in a TR mainsail?

I would highly recommend trying this is you are seeking higher boom clearance on your TR.

How old is it, and boltrope or loose-foot? How much are you asking?

I bought it used on Ebay. I didn't want to put much into it until I knew whether it would work or not. Worked out Great!
