[quote=MN3][quote=Dogboy]If that's what it takes to balance the helm, I think I'd rather run the full sail plan with the mast raked back where it should be than use a smaller sail with the mast raked forward like that. Looks totally out of whack to me. I've never seen any cat rigged with the mast raked forward of plumb.
Maybe pulling the centerboards up partially will help move the CLR aft and allow the mast to be raked back where it should be. Or rake the rudders forward slightly.

you are probably correct - to be honest i didn't realize it was raked this far forward until i saw this pic - and i did swap out shroud adjusters early this season with a different type adjuster - a little difference can make for a big adjustment 31' aloft
i will experiment in some lighter air
however,
my 5.5 should be back on the water soon so the 6.0 will go away for a while (or a year or so)<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Nov 07, 2018 - 07:13 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
