Tim,
I have two ¾ blocks behind my mast and I think one forward of it. The last
time I checked, I had 12 of mast rake. I have been very happy with this
setup. I havent moved the butt of the mast in many years. It seems to
work for me. Less mast rake will give you less weather helm, if thats what
you seek, although it sounds like youre out of forestay adjustment already.

Particularly to all you 35-3 owners out there, where do you have your mast
base in your step plate? Mine has a block ahead of the mast (so the mast is
in the rearmost position possible). I can't remember where it was last year
and the yard removed and re-stepped it, so I didn't place any reminders to
myself. I seem to be getting more forestay sag than last year for a certain
backstay tension, and have had to tighten the forestay down to the max to
resolve (I have a very easily adjustable forestay). Before I slack off the
shrouds and try it at max foreward, I thought I'd ask what your settings
are.
Thanks,
Tim
