I don't have any measurements that could help, but the maker of your sails may have some information. Failing that why not set the mast rake somewhere in the region of 21' 2" and adjust the spreaders until you have the same prebend recommended by your sailmaker (so the curvature of the mast fits the sail. If the boat is old don't use 400lbs rig tension. 280lbs should be fine.

The Needlespar boom is light, stiff and strong.
