Hi HG
I actually just answered your pm about this (i didn't realise it was there until tonight)
I dont know my mast height but i found this news.google.com/newspapers?nid=1300&dat=19760910&id=9e1UAAAAIBAJ&sjid=UJIDAAAAIBAJ&pg=4048,2466694&hl=en on the net and it states that the working sail area is 40m2 so you might be able to compare that to the H28 sail area specs available on the net
Regards Don
Hi HG
The next time i am out on her i can measure how much halyard it takes to raise the main and add the length from the headboard on the lowered main to the base of the mast and that will give me a mast height to give to you
I will also measure the length of the boom for you as well
Regards Don
Thanks Don I sent you a message about PDF scanned pages I have some original brochures here , could email then if you ever want

Really interesting topic. I keeled over once, see profile pic. Since then, a few times I've found myself on a mud bank, I am jumping from portside to starboard and back that's actually driving the keel into the mud until stable. I'm shallow draft with 3.5 m beam.
Methinks, a few set anchors tied firm to stanchions,,, until possibly shoveling sand against hull, inflating a tractor tyre or two also sounds good. This way ive got more reasons to keep spare anchors, extra rope and some awesome skiing equipment... >.>
Magrove maybe I should fit these babies might be able to bare foot then lets get the boat of yours planning mate 
Mate! Where I come from, a can of aerostart and a bilge full of sump and diff oil is good to bounce a few inner tubes for a weekend..
No, seriously. How did you know I wanted a hydrofoil ?
I know an old fella who carries empty bags and when he wants to clean or he runs aground he fills them with sand and she leans on them.
those ropes tied fore and aft would stop the fin keeler from falling forward.
Now that insurance is getting so hard and expensive to get this idea is really becoming viable
