Well first - your photo didn't come thru so maybe you could send it 
to me directly, rather than thru the list.

Also, I know that my mast/boom are not standard and are something 
like a "tall rig" for the R22.  The gooseneck is fixed and the boom 
is set up for roller reefing (i.e. I roll the main around the boom to reef).

But send the photo and I can post it for you.  My e-mailer seems to 
do attachments compatible with the list.

Cheers!
