Nigel, I have Solo 3733 and have managed to get a measurement of 3060mm from the front of mast to outside of transom. The mast is right up against the front bulkhead and I've drilled a hole through the mast foot tenon and pinned through the mast step with a drop pin, works ok for me.
Not wishing to play top trumps, i can't adjust the rake on my solo #66...
There are not too many answers to your question Nigel, perhaps because it is a controversial subject, one that Solo sailors debate over a drink or two late into the night. On my Solo blog I have a tuning guide which starts with links to all the expert tuning guides (P&B, North etc) I know about before my recommendations from a non-expert club racer point of view. So it might help you: https://soloscribbles.blogspot.com/p/solo-tuning-guide.html
I have 3685 (Thresher hull) and the same question.
