i was on a lagoon 440 the other day and was surprised at the height of the boom. at 6' 2" (my height) the boom was at the level of my neck and i could just reach the top of the stack pack. i could envision a time when the sail did not come down neatly into the stack pack and manual intervention would be needed and it would be a hard task(IMHO).
