Gotcha. I see how that is limiting. I sail with a SC19 that is boomless. He has a track on the mainsail that acts as an outhaul and with the mast rotator controls they are able to shape the sail very well... but the outhaul track is key. I PERSONALLY would do that and not install a boom. Unless you are racing... i find boomless a great feature.

I also sail with several GCats that are boomless,and simply have a clew plate... they are very fast but Hans (the Gcat designer) does use a boom sometimes on his GCat...
