[Rhodes22-list] IMF boom height adjustment

[Robert Quinn]

Dominic:  There should be a block which fits into the mast slot that has a 
pin that catches a retaining hole in the mast.  Its purpose is two fold:  it 
holds the boom up and it supports the main sail furler.  If you do not have 
that piece you need to contact GB and get it and the pop top slider as well. 
They are relatively inexpensive.
