Yes, I remember Brion Toss mentioning is his last talk at Spaulding Wooden Boat Center, "when you step the masts, rake the mizzen back further than you would normally think is necessary because when you look at both masts from a distance, the perspective will make them seem parallel. Otherwise, they will look like they point together slightly" Anyway, My old main mast definately also had an aftward bend as well, so I figure thats how it is supposed to be.
