What kind of mast rake are Phantom sailors using as a baseline these days?
To alleviate some of the lockdown boredom, I set my boat up on the drive and got the tape measure out the other day. With full rig tension on I'm measuring 6.76m, which is exactly what the Simon Childs / P&B guide recommends. But then I had a look at the HD Sails guide and the North Sails guide. HD are recommending 6.72m which isn't too far out, but for my body weight North are advising 6.58m. This is about 7 inches more rake than I'm currently using, i.e. a complete shedload.
Anybody else got any figures for comparison?
