For a moment look at the profile drawing of my rig and picture it as though the mast was standing straight up vertically with its masthead in the same location as mine now is. Contrary to some statements, my forestays are really no longer than a conventional sloop rig, in fact they are likely shorter.



And certainly my CE, and thus overturning moment, is lower for an almost identical overall sail area
