[quote=yurdle][quote]unlike the NACRA which threatened me with a pitch-pole any time I started haulin. [/quote]
My 5.2 is extremely sensitive to mast rake in this regard. One notch on the forestay is unsailable. Any power forces a sort of 'powerstall' where the power in the sail just forces the bows down, which stops the boat.
One notch back and the boat will sail fine until it picks up speed, at which point the bows dive, and it pitchpoles.
One more notch back and it sails perfectly.[/quote]
