Between 0.75 and 1.5 degrees
- The majority of modern boats have their mast raked between 0.75 and 1.5 degrees, with 2 to 2.5 degrees being the conventional upper limit. Some references suggest that fractional rigs should have about twice the rake of a masthead rig, say, 2 to 3 degrees vs. 1 to 2 degrees.

As mentioned at the beginning of this article, boats move, so although you should be able to leave your mast rake and side-to-side centring alone, keep an eye on the shroud tensions.
