The Geezer Rig...that's what we call it when the spars and sail are rigged high enough to not whack us in the noggin. We didn't invent the settings, we just coined the term. Nowadays many folks who race like to set the boom low, but we feel for beginners, New Salts and Old Salts that a friendly rig does the job just fine, the way they did it at Old School ALCORT.
We set the gooseneck about 23 inches back and tie the halyard 60 or so inches down. We like the boom to rise a bit as it runs aft.
