Replying to:mast rake for 125
I am rigging a 125 for the first time, & have read Jamie Thomson's notes on rig concepts in the association notes. He states that a distance of 6140mm from the black line at the top of the mast, to the transom/ floor is a good starting point. Could someone tell me if this is a bare masted distance, or is it measured after the mainsail is set & tension is applied to the boom block ?
