I am doing research for my university thesis, thanks for your useful points, now I am acting on a sudden impulse.

I built a 36" model America's Cup sailboat in school and about every 10 years I overhaul it. I'm doing the 6th overhaul and wondering just how far back from the bow the mast should mount on the deck.
I usually just guess but there must be a naval architect out there with the smarts to whip out a text with an accepted formula. --- ok I'll do the math for you --- in 1938 we didn't have a resource like this GREAT Seadercraft web site and I want to get it right before I hand this beautiful boat over to the grandkid.
