I'm wondering what should be the mast rake setting for the newest boats, i'm concerned that I am running too much. The amount of rake being run seems to increase over the years, and by the two posts below it was 10-16 and then 16 and above, and now.......
I am running 18-22 on my mast rake in order to get two blocked. Went out yesterday in 13-15 mph winds and had 22 clicks on the halyard and really had to pull on the sheet to get two blocked. Boat felt good, neutral-slight weather helm on the rudders. I'm also in the third hole from the top on the shroud adjuster. I'm measuring with the Jib halyard set and the Main un-sheeted and the downhaul loose.
