Hello fellow centerboarders, When I purchased my Citation the mast was set up with a very noticealble aft rake. I believe the previous owner had it set up that way so that he could sail comfortably without having to bother himself with the centerboard. She balances quite well that way in light winds. However, I believe that this makes the boat quite tender and may be giving it too much weatherhelm in a decent breeze. Does anyone out there know if this rake was the standard way of setting up the boat or whether it should more properly be set up with mast plumb? And if your boat is set up with the mast plumb, do you experience some lee helm with the board up that you correct with the centerboard? Randy
