Mast Rake on Northeaster Dory Lug Rig

Submitted by PentwaterDave - Sun, 1/12/14 » 2:58 PM

I ran a plumb line from the center of square hole in the mast partner down to where the mast step will be placed. It indicates that the lug rig mast will have a slight rake toward the stern. Is this correct or should I shave a bit off the aft end of the mast step and get rid of the aft rake? Thanks.

Dave

I did exactly the same thing on my dory because I wanted to get the partner just right. Also got a slight rake to the stern. CLC told me that the exact angle of rake is not that important in a small boat. My dory sails just fine. It'll be great!

Thanks Frank. Appreciate the advice! I'll just leave it alone.
