Looking for guidelines on mast rake.
We’re stepping our mast next week. She’s a Hunter 37.5 with a 7/8 fractional rig with double swept back spreaders. Hunter’s documentation does not address rake (doesn’t address much of anything).
Is there a ball park starting point for rake on this type of rig?
(knowing it may need changing after seeing how she sails)
Thanks in advance for refraining from the “get a pro”, “your rigger should know” or “if you have to ask this….” BS responses.

Get the rig plan, (sailboatdata.com) and measure the rake the designer intended. Don’t over complicate it with opinions of mains’l size etc. Hang a weight from a halyard and Pythagoras will tell you the rest
