Default 80 meter dipole

Hello,
I want to put up a center fed dipole for 75 meters. Trouble is, my lot
is not large enough to run the two legs without any bends.
My tower is in the center of my lot and is 60 feet at the peak, and is
40 feet to both ends of the lot.
What would the best solution be without using coils to "shorten" the
antenna?
I've had some luck by "dog legging" each leg of the dipole, but have
not gone past 200 watts power for fear of a arc.

Thanks,
73, W6IML
