Ok Harley,
Once again this is one of those questions that depends on a lot of things. One being how tall you are, say compared to the next user in line for your beast also look at the Boom Length. As long as Seat doesn't interfere with the logical Lower Block fastening point. So if you are the Tallest operator then I would say Allow 3" or 4" past the Contact point of your Scon/Scone/Head
, that should be plenty for a Head Cushion if you need one. But then again are you laying Supine or Sitting if sitting the head doesn't need a Rest if Supine then your neck is going to get awful tired after a couple of hours.
Re Sail Cut. One would assume that you have read about this subject amongst the Tome of writings in this forum. Somewhere you should have seen a Table of Sail Curve measurements by Paul Day, the designer. Stick to them and you will not be far wrong, though there are a few other considerations being recommended for Carbon Fiber Wind Surfer Masts. This is the Home Site for one set of Mast Sail Curves.
Hopefully some kind sole who remembers the actual Page this info was posted on will add the info to your page.
Sail Foot Angle, when you lay out the mast angle then sight a line that would Parallel your body line then take the Foot Angle up several inches so that when you Haul your Sheet in tight you still have about 3" clear of your HELMETED Head though mostly the Boom lies to the Down Wind anyway. Least ways that is what I did and have noticed, needles to say I haven't been busted in the ear by the Mast

Penetrene is also very good as is Yield from Chemsearch but fairly expensive. Good if you can knock it off from work.
