Gary, just like a cat when pushed too hard, the lee hull can bury. You either sheet out or under it goes. The beauty of the Island is you can infinitely reef quickly and easily. The mast rotates like our Bravo rig. Just furl a little if the hull is pushing down too much and you actually go faster. Guess that is like using the main traveler on the cats. Eases the load and the boat goes faster.
