I have a boom on my V12, predominantly because I changed the sail plan and the sheeting angle was all out of whack. It works very well. I had to lengthen my mast so I could sit on the seats without risk of being knocked on the head by the boom - so if you are going with a boom, be sure to make the m...

If you've cut your panels correctly, there shouldn't be a problem. There's a fair amount of twist in the front of those two bottom panels - to me it looks like you've just got a bit of work to line them all up properly.
