Default Aha!

Hi again,
On the one hand, you have a huge lateral angle; you could take the forward shroud tang up to about 30ft. and still have 12 degrees. On the other hand, the forward sweep would be negligible by then. So you could only get your forward intermediate (or a more effective forward staying at the current height) by moving the chainplates forward. Say, to about 4ft. or more forward of the mast, assuming that the shroud would not then be in the way of the main boom.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss
