In order to fix my tabernacle-mounted broken mast I will loose about 2 inches of mast height. Accordingly the boom will be lower by the same 2 inches unless I shorten the luff of the main. I could restore the 2 inches of boom height by using a 2-inch longer post between the tabernacle and the keel. This would place the tabernacle 2 inches above the deck instead of flush with the deck where it was. Do I create a problem by doing that.
Thanks for any thoughts.
