...with further rake, the boom comes back down lower into the ****.

Very true. I noticed in some pictures that Cliff had sent to me, Strategery's boom sits substantially lower than the rest of us with Ullman Sails. The mast rake didn't appear to be much different as best I could tell from the pictures. I assume this to be a difference in the cut of the sail. I often wished I had full body armor when sailing in strong wind and I need to cross behind the main sheet as the boom is whipping towards me from the other side of the boat!
