Hello,
It would be good to have at least a foot more spar length than sail foot length; tackle and terminal take up room, and you don't want to crowd things, particularly on outhauls, where the tight space often causes foul leads.
Is this a Bermudian boat? If so, just be sure that the boom can't foul the backstay, regardless of vertical boom angle.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
