| Post subject: | How much does mast rake affect pointing ability? |
Any wisdom to offer, Tiger guys? Im sailing at the F18 NAs next week and Ive always felt as though other boats were out pointing us to weather. I think I had some rudder toe in issues which may have been putting the brakes on a bit, forcing us to foot off more, but I think I have that resolved. We sail at about 360lbs so not the lightest team out there. Ive been keeping it raked to the middle part of the non-skid on the transom for most 12-18knots, one hole forward on the forestay for lighter days to add some power. Any help is appreciated!!! |

We raked way further back than that - but at 360 lbs, you might suffer in marginal trap conditions. However I think you'll be OK - it should be windy there this time of year - and in a blow there isn't anything 'slow' about the Tiger Upwind!!! They still rock!!! |

So if we still feel we have plenty of power double trapped, but lacking height against the fleet, add a bit more rake? |

I would...yes, also you might want to check this forum too for many tuning tips - or search for my post history - I have put a ton of tuning tips from our Tiger here somewhere. Good luck at NA's - should be a fun time!!! |
