[quote=rattlenhum]FYI....You can only benefit from raking the mast back to the point where you just go block to block on the mainsheet. Any further and you won't be able to sheet tight to flatten the sail. If that's your main in your avatar, I don't believe much rake will be allowed or flattening will occur. New shrouds, forestay, rudders, castings, etc. are nice, but they aren't going to make up for a stretched/blown mainsail.[/quote]
