Well, I figure if a planing powerboat can go 240 miles an hour before it disintegrates -- and it does not even dig in and pitchpole -- we are doing something wrong with sailboats.

We should be able to get our center of effort and weight and power back far enough to go faster without pitchpoling.

So if the goal is SPEED, my idea is to have a fore-and-aft track for the mast, so we can move the power back as the wind increases. It's not enough to just rake the mast back farther.
