I think the initial tuning of about 8 of rake, usually done by hanging a weight on the main halyard, is a reference assuming the boat is sitting level in the water. At least a few of the CC 30-1 I have looked at are stern heavy, some by a couple of inches. I suspect that will add some to the rake

15 inches sounds a bit much for a 30 but I'd try it for a while before I make any change. If you don't see a lot of weather helm in stiff breezes, don't worry about it. I have 11-12 inches rake on my 35-1 and really like the way it sails. Fairly neutral helm. And that's with a fairly old main.

Hi Joe, I just adjusted mine from about 13.5 to about 10.5 - 11 and it made a world of difference in 12 - 15 + Knots winds. The helm was balanced in calm winds but I was getting more than my share of weather helm in the heavier stuff, sometimes that was forcing me to have a less aggressive

Howdy listers, Last year I had my forestay replaced (for a new roller furler) and it ended up being longer than the original by maybe about 4 or 5 inches . I have adjusted the forestay all the way down but I still need plenty of backstay to keep it all tight. So now my mast rake is about 15

that does not sound good...can't imagine the mainsail working well with the topping lift holding the boom off the dodger. I believe that you will need to shorten that forestay, you could try opening the forestay adjusting turnbuckle all the way and measure how much that opening is (inches), then
