Great vid James. Setting up these boats for best performance is an art. I picked up a couple of tricks from your video.
You mention mast rake is controlled by the Jib halyard tension. I usually think of it as being controlled by the hole the shroudsare on in the their chain plate.

Yeah you are right in the Rake being controlled or "set" by the shroud chain plates. We have two settings for our shrouds in the chain plates. One for light/ two trapezing and starting to ease travellar conditions. And one hole down from that for when we are really looking to de-power. As these two ranges are so big we fine tune our mast rake with jib halyard tension so that we are carrying the perfect amount of tension for the conditions.
A marking on your halyard with a pen is essential.
