It also reflects the required banding. So if the banding is still present on the boom that easy to measure.
Since the goal is to tell if the mast is 34’ or 36 feet he could simple hoist a 35 foot line and it will either touch the deck or be short. Eventually he’ll learn to tune the mast and learn he needs a 50 foot steel tape but for a close guess a line will do.

You are right, I was going by the specs for the 2 boats and they are based on sail size.

Joe, I believe the boom is the same length on the tall and standard rigs, or at least it is on my boat. (tall rig) However, the length of the foot of the sail is definitely shorter on the tall rig. Keep in mind the OEM traveller is in the same spot on the standard and tall rig, so it wouldn't make sense for the boom to be a different length. ~Dan Hardiman --- On Wed, 6/30/10, Joe McCary <[email protected]> wrote: From: Joe McCary <[email protected]> Subject: RE: [IC27A] Tall or Standard Rig?

Also the boom is different in the tall rig. The boom on the Standard Rig is 10’ 6” and Tall Rig the boom is 9’ 8” (yes shorter boom on the tall rig). Obviously the mast is taller, but just 1’ taller.

If it has a teak bow sprit, it's most likely a tall rig. ~Dan Hardiman --- On Wed, 6/30/10, Jay Ducote <jaydduc...@gmail. com> wrote: From: Jay Ducote <jaydduc...@gmail. com> Subject: [IC27A] Tall or Standard Rig? To: ic...@yahoogroups. com Date: Wednesday, June 30, 2010, 11:59 AM Here is a random question that I think is rather important for me to know... the PO of my boat did not know whether my boat is a tall or standard rig C27. Is there an easy way to find out other than trying to get a tape measure to the top of the mast? Thanks! -- Jay D.
