I raised the mast for the first time on my new H240 (on my trailer and not quite level). From reading archives, I understand that there should be a rake to aft. There is. However, it appears that the base of the mast does not site quite level in the bracket with the pin. The forestay (with furler) appears to be at correct tension and shrouds also appear OK. There is nothing fetching it caught up between the bracket and base of the mast except the mast wiring fitting. Only slight angle, not completely flat against base of bracket...normal?

Plan to measure main halyard

Once in the water I will measure rake using weight on my main halyard to see distance aft; however seems like the base should rest completely flat in the bracket?
