Last year we raced with 7" of mast rake. I'm looking to improve my pointing and so I'm increasing the mast rake to 14". Has anyone got any feedback on their mast rake settings and how it has affected performance?
I increased the rake on my 320 last year and it did help pointing and sail trimming for racing. I cannot say how much, as I did a number of other things as well, but I plan on increasing the rake on my new 356 this weekend. I'll let you know how that works out. BTW, on the 320 I was able to point very well compared to other boats in my class. I had the shoal draft, and was still able to out point and maintain speed.Steve
