I'm pretty sure there are some posts in the archives re: racing the 28.5. As indicated before, the prebend should be done with the mast down accordoing to the formula. Mast rake should be adjusted to each indivdual boat. I will tell you that my 28.5 will sail upwind with little or no weather helm (the way I preer it). It is not the fastest boat but is respectable. I think that sail condition is the most important thing you should be concerned with if you are going to race.
