I tracked down a calculator at: https://www.triangle-calculator.com/?what=rt&a=b%3D262+A%3D1&submit=Solve Input: b=255 A=1 This is the mast height 255 inches (21’ 3”) and rake angle of 1 degree The result is 4.451 inches. So if you float the boat on her lines and hoist a light line via main halyard with a weight tied to the bottom end (I use a crescent wrench), one degree of rake should leave the line about 4.5 inches from the after side of the mast near the base. If your mast is a different length, go to the website and plug in your numbers. Les
