yep, if the forestay to bridle connection is above the mast base relative to the platform.

if they are at same height then rake will not change. the canting rotation occurs around a line from mast base to bridle (imagine a triangle being rotated about one of it's sides)

this is if you measure rake from mast top to rear beam on centreline.
