Increased mast
rake hurts off-wind performance and also hurts light air performance.

Well Bob, those were three really useful and informative comments.

Now explain to us exactly how increased rake causes a deterioration in
downwind performance and what can be done to offset this, (without removing
the rake). No google.

Ready, set,, go!

Now I know some of you will want to jump in here and answer, don't, let
Bob come up with the answers himself!

Cheers

I know, I know!! Mount an anchor on the companionway hatch cover!

This has been proven to increase downwind speed every time, regardless of mast
rake!

Actually, we open our cabintop hatch and our bow hatch straight up, to
grab more wind while going downwind.
