Hello all 15 ers.Just about to put my boat back together after the winter.Just bought new sails and dont want to spoil my chances of improving my times by incorrect mast rake.Any advice would be welcomed, and how do you measure it.I am in the heavy weight sailing catagory if it makes any difference.See you all at the Sprint nationals in May.

Hi Keith,
It needs to be in the position where if you really heave on the mainsheet it just about goes block to block (usually #3 or #4 hole from the top of the shroud adjuster plates). Helm weight makes no difference.
