davidpm Posted March 3, 2011 Posted March 3, 2011 I'm concerened about setting the mast properly and a spindrift 10n. Is it supposed to be completely vertical when the boat is on its designed waterline? One of the plan pages makes it look like it might be pitched forward a little which must be my misinterpration of the plans because I've seen masts with a little aft rake but never a forward rake. Can I assume plumb? Quote

There is no rake because with a free standing mast it will bend aft as soon as you pull in the main sheet. Quote
