I presume your settings for sloop configuration include raking the mast back more (than for the uni setting)? Does that help keep the bows up a bit?

And would there have been any benefit to pulling the boards up maybe 1/3 in that breeze to keep from tripping over them?

same set up between uni and sloop, in terms of mast rake in that pic although in retrospect I should have maybe raked it a little more in that situation because it may have (don't have the slightest clue) prevented the bows from digging in as much.
As far as boards, they were the low aspect boards which I think should stay down through even higher wind ranges and we were relatively heavy anyway- if we were going to heal more we would have been leaning back instead of forward.
