    I was wondering per the previous post if the position of the mast in
    relation to the leading edge of the keel was sacrosanct, or indeed if
    there was any significant reason at all to establish this relation.

    I am planning to move the mast aft from station 4 to station 5
    (approximate), but keep the CE of the sail plan where it is by
    altering the sail plan to a cutter rig. The leading edge of the keel
    is fixed around station 4.

    Of course I will have a qualifed person design my new cutter rig, but
    I was wondering in theory if this is a practical objective.

    Thank you,

    jim_both
