Ryan, Your sailmaker may be the best source for advice on prebend. He knows how much prebend he allowed for in his sail design. How much rake are you starting with? You may want to reduce that for stronger winds? My boat originally had an extra 2" toggle at the bottom of the headstay. In heavy air this was taken out before leaving the dock to shorten the headstay length, the rig firmed up by additional turns on the turnbuckles.
I have some advice from Offshore Spars, I'll dig out. I think they rec 3", and warn not to exceed 9" I'll find that for you. Meanwhile, check rake.

Im 4" aft now 3-4" per bend. I feel theres still to much weather helm above 13-16kt. I believe the XL has the same rig as the R if theres any one out there?
