The other thing that occurs to me is that that topsail on the mainmast is going to cause a tremendous amount of healing force. As the wind pipes up, that thing will have to come down real early which, I'm guessing, is going to result in even more weather helm. A deep reef in the mizzen would help correct that, but then you're likely to be under canvassed until the wind increases a little more. Or am I missing something here? I know a lot of you guys are a lot more knowledgeable than I. What do y'all think?
