[Rhodes22-list] 175 and Backstay Tension

[Shawn Boles]

Rob:
Rob thanks for the feedback. The reason I was asking about mast rake was
not for racing purposes but for correction of lee helm. I was curious as to
whether others have had a similar problem and, if so, how they had
corrected it.  Lengthening the forestay slightly seems to have done the
trick for me. The change did not seem to affect unfurling or furling the
IMF sail.

Cheers,
Shawn
