Well, that explains a lot. I haven't looked at the web site in ten years or 
 so. I don't know of any changes in the rigging on the R22 in modern times. 
 Perhaps I'm wrong, but I haven't seen any changes other than the main sail 
 change. I know you said you wanted a longer boom and more main sail, but 
why? As  currently built, the R22 has respectable speed and wonderful 
handling  characteristics that I wouldn't want to mess with.

Rummy,

I remember someone on the list mentioning Stan  looking at modifying the
backstay attachements to allow for a longer  boom.  This has been on the GB
website for awhile under the "racing"  tab.

That  is all I know.
