Is it possible to have too much rake? Some of the old timers that I sail with keep telling me that I've got too much.

I've raked the rudders under and have little weather helm, and get my 6:1 within 2 inches of block to block with the main I bought brand new last season and have only sailed perhaps a dozen times.

I seem to be able to point much higher, however they seem to have a little more boat speed when falling off, well more than I do when I fall off.
