Ross, yes moving the mast on the plate will affect balance and pointing 
ability.  If you will be racing witha PHRF rating, it has to be pretty close 
to the  "J" which is 10 ft, or you will receive a penality.  How much the 
mast is raked, fore and aft, will also change handling just a little.  Within 
the  travel of the forward turnbuckle, and the back turnbuckle, you can 
probably shift the top of the mast back 2-3" at least.  If you do this you 
will have to readujst all of your shrouds also.  Some people like one kind of 
"feel", and some like another.  You wil have to try to find what you like 
best.
try  to start in the middle to begin with
