Can someone measure the distance between the bridle tang and the front crossbar on a Tiger. I'm trying to use the rope from trapwire method to set my mast rake and think my 18 is longer, it measures 80.5" from the tang to crossbar. Currently the rope touches 8" forward of the stern so I need to go back based on this. Not sure, any other suggestions. This 18 wears Tiger rags!

72.5" from the front edge of the crossbar to the bridle attachment hole.

Thanks so much. I thought the attachment was closer than the 18. I raked the mast one hole back last night and it positively effected the jib clew angle. I think it will need to go one or two holes more, which will again bring the jib closer to the correct angle. I'm in the 4th hole from the bottom on the side stays now. If I go to 3 up tight I think it will be right.
