Hi Paul,
On a 1997 P19 factory mainsail, the top slug is 5.5 inches from the top of
the sail. It's 1.5 inches below the bottom of the headboard.
On my custom-made P19 mainsail for my 1985 heavier mast, it's 2.5 inches from
the top. Both work well like that.
By the way, did you move the tack cringle (the grommet that the pin on the
gooseneck fits through) forward?
Best,
Judy
