I never liked the feeling of a heavy-raked mast. I know I'm not exactly lighting up the results board but the boat just doesn't *feel* right upwind with that amount of rake on - personally speaking of course.


I bet ya a bottle of rum more rake is faster... Oh yeah, I already did that. By the way, at the rate your paying up, you just as well buy a distillery.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
