The C&C manual mentions 6" to 10" inches of rake (see below). I have recently
adjusted my 30-1 to have around 3" of rake with backstay adjuster somewhat
loose. I'm happy with the result. You are more than welcome to stop by and
check out my setup. I'm in Back Creek.

Howdy listers, Last year I had my forestay replaced (for a new roller furler)
and it ended up being longer than the original by maybe about 4 or 5 inches .
I have adjusted the forestay all the way down but I still need plenty of
backstay to keep it all tight. So now my mast rake is about 15 inches at the
boom. I don’t have a ton of weather helm but it’s hard to be sure because I
replaced the old main at the same time that I redid the forestay and the new
sail is much more efficient. The extra rake also lowers the boom so I need to
use topping lift to keep it off the dodger. So…..how many inches of rake do you
have? And what would you consider optimal? I will have to redo the forestay
to fix this but it may be worth it. As always, I appreciate all the opinions
and advice! Cheers, Joe Boyle30 MK1 ‘ZIA’Annapolis
