Ok, that makes four of us so far with short rigs (height impaired);

Judging from the spread of serial numbers, 1990 was not a particularly
bad year for Joe Edwards. I wonder if all of those boats were short
rigged or if he made a mix of different rigs. Are there any 1990 tall
rigs out there?
Anybody know of any others? ..even rumors? I bought a mainsail from
Bacons that has yet another hull number (which I can't remember) and I'd
be interested in knowing what happened to that boat since the sail was
in like new condition. I'll get the number and post it. Maybe somebody
converted the boat to a tall rig.
As Ted noted, both of our boats seem to have a mast that is really heavy
duty - particularly for the length of the mast. I will compare it with
one of the tall rigged 19s that are at my marina.
My boom is 12 feet long and extends well over the transom, so I doubt
that a back stay could be rigged on these boats unless you confined
travel to either a starboard or port tack..... Most booms are about 11
and a half feet long, but I had to replace mine and I bought a 12 foot
length of 6061 aluminum tube for j a hundred bucks and just can't get
myself to cut off that extra six inches.
