i'm a novice and i apologize for all the basic questions i've been asking. i really appreciate all the help everyone has given me.

my boom has a range of 182-244 cm. does this mean that it will fit sails that have a boom measurement of 182-244, or is there a recommended amount of extra space i should give myself for tuning?

i got the boom in a rig package for an 8.5, but i'd like to get a 6.5 that has a 200 cm boom length. i figure this will be okay, but how close to the 182 do you think i can get? thanks again.
