I am just making the main top mast studding sail boom - the magazine says to make the booms 155mm but the plans say 135mm?

Could someone please let me know the correct length

Thanks

Hi riff-raff! Cool

No typo! I've checked.

I think you got a little mixed up the magazine which say to make the boom 155mm is issue 71 and this is for the fore yard. The main & fore topmast yards are covered in issue72 and tells you to "cut them to length as shown bottom right on the yard plans".

So as Tomick said 135mm for the main topmast studding sail booms.
