Does your mast have a black band at the top and bottom? If so, there are the maximum rise and lower points for the main. You need some room at the top to clear the backstay.

The head of the sail was about a foot from the top of the mast. The boom was hitting on the bottom of the removable mast track plate where you take the sail on and off from. My question is does your boom ride above or below this plate? If I take the plate off and let the boom ride above it the mainsail will go to the top of the rig. Or should I just keep the boom below it and get a mainsail cut taller?
