I think the MSOG has a section on this written my Jerry, and there have been similar references by others. I recently discovered that my spinnaker halyard was in the bottom (wrong) hole on the masthead, and swapping that position with the forestay gained me about an inch of forestay length, which lets me rake the mast back more. I was maxed out on my turnbuckle and couldn't go farther. Now I know why. With only a few degrees to work with, an inch makes a lot of difference.
