Manatee doesn't have the same boom as your boat, but I've heard somewhere
that your boom will no longer fit in the cabin if it's lengthened at all. I
don't know if that would be a problem in your case. If so you might want
the boom end cap to be removable for stowage. (On my boat, either rig, the
boom always remains with the upper yard, which is much too long to fit
inside.) >>

On my 15 with the Dwyer end cap, it slides off for stowage in the cabin. It
doesn't come off under sail. I think its much better than the plastic end
piece that it came with, more nautically aesthetic as well as functional.
