It would seem like the rig tension would have to be pretty loose to allow the mast to rotate so far around.
I agree. With my rig tensioned and without the sail up, the shrouds are pretty tight by the time I rotate the mast to 110.
You would also think that the forestay would be trying to prevent a 180 degree flip.
Seems like the mast would have to pop into an inverted position first (due to incorrect spreader/diamond setup). Then, could tension on the leech pull the mast around somehow?
