Leadfoot Posted June 19, 2012 Report Share Posted June 19, 2012 It really depends on your mast rake. If it is in front of the back beam it will tend to dip the nose on reaches. I used to run mine about 50mm in front of the beam and manage my weight to compensate. If the race was looking to have a lot of reaches and 15+ knots of breeze I would move it back to about 50mm behind the beam. Uphill/down hill races you can usually manage it in any breezes upto 20knots. Of course this is for an 85kg Skipper, lighter skippers will need to go back a little earlier although I have a friend who sails with it about 200mm in front of the beam and is only 78KG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
