Serious variation accross the fleet. Will put a tape over EJ's tonight.

I think longest is on Duck wars. If someone was asked nicely to run a tape over the Paul Croote Mega mandrel - it is the full length of it

I would er on the length of the mainsail foot + 20cm for the outhaul arrangement. You can always build long and shorten it if it's too long.  I think the mega boom mandrel is 2.5-2.6m long from memory.  I still have the off cut from E number's boom.
