I went down to the boat to check (curious). Couldn't get a really accurate measurement because we have a breeze today. But it looks closer to 10 inches than 15. I'll wait until the breeze abates, the boat is just a block away.

I have adjusted the forestay all the way down but I still need plenty of backstay to keep it all tight. So now my mast rake is about 15 inches at the boom. I don't have a ton of weather helm but it's hard to be sure because I replaced the old main at the same time that I redid the forestay and the new sail is much more efficient. The extra rake also lowers the boom so I need to use topping lift to keep it off the dodger. So...how many inches of rake do you have? And what would you consider optimal? I will have to redo the forestay to fix this but it may be worth it. As always, I appreciate all the opinions and advice!
