<p>Hi Greg,</p>
<p>I am changing from tiller to wheel steering where about did you place the steering. Do you have any photos. Also I am wanting to change to a single mast. (To many obstructions with the duel mast) I have contacted Wharram and awaiting reply, do you have any experience with this . The single mast system seems to work well with the Pahi 31 design,</p>
<p>cheers Pieter</p>

Greg -- I have my plans -- I would like to understand more about how the rake impacts the sail performance. I was planning to simply raise the mast. Even two feet would make a difference. Sail area to be left the same as stock.<br />
