Matt, Anyone? Can someone tell me the measurement from the bow aft to the subject point along the hull? Really appreciate it, eric |

Is there really no one who can point me in the right direction? |

Seems like you'd have tripped the trigger of a least one engineer. 
It's a bit of a subjective question with the assymetrical hulls and rudders acting as daggers to a certain degree. Would depend on variables such as mast rake, point of sail, crew location, etc., etc., etc. I'll guess front crossbar to shroud anchors. |

Well, you can figure that it is in front of the center of effort of the sailplan - otherwise, the boat is unstable. I would pick somewhere close to the front crossbar, but I agree that it moves depending on speed, crew position, etc. Why are you looking to find out, just out of interest? |

Mast rake with also change this. There is no known dimension that I am aware of. |

Thx all  I wanted to know what to expect after adjusting the mast rake and getting back out on the water this summer. Odd things to mull over when you're re-finishing your hulls as a winter project. (All in an effort to out-sail my buddy and his supercat to the first mark).
