This being your fourth 9.1 Meter (if my memory of our many phone conversations serves me well), I find myself chuckling a little as I read your question Paul... so please forgive me. Anyway, your hull is the second to last hull built (128 were manufactured). It would surprise me greatly if your boat had a short rig. Although my notes are at home (I'm out of town on business) it is generally assumed that the first 12-13 boats were equipped with the short rig. As I think I have told you, my hull is #2 (Irish Rose in the original brochure) and was retrofitted with a tall rig during its second season in order to compete at the MORC Championships. All my encounters with owners of other hulls in the "early" numbers indicate that the short rig disappeared around hull #13 in 1983. Again, I would be surprised if a tall rig was delivered on your hull (which I believe was manufactured in 1987, four years later). If you are actually attempting to measure your "I", remember that the dimension does not stop at the cabin top, it continues to where the foredeck would intersect the mast (if no raised cabin top existed). Hope all is well with your latest venture into 9.1 ownership and that Florida is treating you better than the blustery winters of Ohio! |
