-List Mast Rake on C&C 30 MK1
funny, we had the same conditions here in Ottawa. This was our first sail this
season. 15-20 with higher gusts and quite choppy (as for our river/lake). I had
1st reef on main and about 1/3 of 135 genoa unfurled. I could steer with two
fingers. My wife did not

Think about it a moment. You set mast rake with the boat in the water. By
definition she is sitting on her lines and it doesn?

Seems to me that if the boat normally sails stern-low, it moves the center of
effort aft and has the same effect as raking the mast on a level boat...

I think the initial tuning of about 8" of rake, usually done by hanging
a weight on the main halyard, is a reference assuming the boat is
sitting level in the water. At least a few of the C&C 30-1 I have
looked at are stern heavy, some by a couple of inches. I suspect
that will add some to the rake
This makes better sense. Next time I will Reef

Hi Curtis,
My boat is different but I was in 18-25 knots with elderly guests (4 in
their mid 70's) a few weeks back. To keep it on the easy side we put 2
reefs on the main and sailed main only while getting out of the marina
area.. As soon as we got clear water, we deployed the genoa (and fur

with no head sail. The man was not reefed.
I had to fight the helm all after noon. Should I have reefed and raised the
110% head sail? Would she have better balanced? Also my inner shroud was
slack like 3" to 4 " on the lee s
15 inches sounds a bit much for a 30 but I'd try it for a while before I
make any change. If you don't see a lot of weather helm in stiff breezes,
don't worry about it.
I have 11-12 inches rake on my 35-1 and really like the way it sails.
Fairly neutral helm. And that's with a fairly old main.

Howdy listers,
Hi Joe,
I just adjusted mine from about 13.5" to about 10.5 - 11" and it made a
world of difference in 12 - 15 + Knots winds. The helm was balanced in
calm winds but I was getting more than my share of weather helm in the
heavier stuff, sometimes that was forcing me to have a less aggressive

Howdy listers,
Last year I had my forestay replaced (for a new roller furler) and it ended
up being longer than the original by maybe about 4 or 5 inches . 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 i
