I'm having a hard time determining how my 5.2 is responding to adjustments in mast rake. My previous boat was a P19mx that ran a fair amount of rake. I down sized as it got to be a hand full single handed .. especially with a spinnaker. I'm currently set up with a square top main and spin/ snuffer. Not much "pre-bend" .. and the way I've measured existing rake is like this ... with the deck of the hulls level, and with a 15" crescent wrench hanging from the halyard, it dangles about 6" aft of the mast.

My limited experience with nacra's leaves me wondering if this is to concervative or not. I've raked it back further, and raked it forward more ... and am having a hard time determining the difference in performance.



any suggestions ???
