On our C&C 41, Der Baron we set it up with about 1 degree of rake. The major
problem was dealing with the keel bolt at the mast step. We had to cut back
a small amount of the mast at the base to allow for the base to move
forward. We also adjusted the shims at the deck to put some slight pre-bend.
We did it in 1986,some I'm not sure what else we may have done. Since then,
we mostly use the hydraulic backstay , the baby stay, or the runners to
adjust the mast bend and the sail shape.

For my 42 (obviously a different boat), we looked at the original C&C design
drawing and assumed that the boat was drawn with the rake the designers
intended. I forget what the degree of rake came out to be, but it wasn't
much. To implement it in the field, I hung a bucket of water from the main
halyard and raked the mast back until the halyard near deck level was the
calculated distance from the mast. Once the mast was positioned where I
wanted it, I installed a Spartite plug. I used leftover Spartite to make
chocks for the mast step base. Not high-tech, but seems to have worked out
okay.
