Lay the Mast back using a pumb bob from the halyard, it should hang vertically over the rear beam or at a minimum the rear of the tramp. You may need to extend the forstays using forks to do this.
Inland_Sailor,
Excuse my ignorance, but are you suggesting I have my mast raked back far enough so as the 'tip' of the mast is in line (vertical) with the rear of the tramp, or the horizontal bar contecting the two hulls?.
And is that what is known as a "rear beam"?.
