Hi Tony,

the rake you describe sounds very familiar, I am also 90kg. and found myself sailing with little rake on my boats, none of which had the centreboards back to the max. The main thing is the boat feels sweet and balanced, regardless of rake it will be fast in strong winds with our weight.

Yes I have only just got it balanced to the point where it now feels really nice and sweet, not to much pressure on the blades etc, and doesn't round up at the drop of a hat (or tiller), hehe. I have had her out in 22kts and we went quite well considering the lack of skill, lol... lots of downhaul and away we went skipping from wave top to wave top, nah... that is the only time us big guys have one on the little whippets... 20+kts.

Cheers
