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!



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!


Quiet Doug, people who sail are talking.

Cheers
