[quote=Dogboy]If you're friend's boom is 36" above the tramp, then [u]his[/u] boat is the one that's wrong. There shouldn't be anywhere near three feet of space between the boom and the tramp. Take a look at some pictures of Hobie 16's. You will see that when the boat is sheeted in for upwind sailing, the back of the boom is about 6 to 10" from the rear crossbar. The front of the boom is about 18" or so from the front crossbar. You want the mast raked back so the boat goes upwind better and is less likely to pitchpole.
