First sail of the season with my son this evening...two hours on the
water, winds were 12 mph, and we were moving up to 6 knots. The sky
was clear and the sail was great.

My newly installed slugs worked pretty good (easy up and down), but the
top slug prevented the head from reaching the top of the mast by 3-4
inches. Of course this meant the boom was 3-4 inches lower than usual,
and I didn't like that. What have those of you who put slugs on your
sail done to remedy that?
