[Rhodes22-list] Boom Question

[Rick Redmond]

Last night while sailing in 12 knot winds with gust to 17, I had a problem
with the boom sliding down the mast at the gooseneck.   It occurred when I
made a tack.  This was probably the first time I was able to talk my wife
into sailing with the pop top down.  With the pop top up it would have keep
the boom in the upper position.  The locking pin still works correctly and
will lock the boom in the upper position.  Has anyone else had this happen
to them?  Is there any thing I should look for to prevent this from happen
again?

Thanks,
Rick
