Hi Brandon, Here is the link to the official C-27 specifications.
http://www.catalina27.org/public_pages/bylaws-table.pdf The maximum allowed main sail luff for a tall rig is 29'8", so I would start by measuring your sail. If you take the plate off, the gooseneck will be able to come out of the sail track. It would be best to keep the boom below the sail entry slot even if it means having the sail below the top of the mast.
