Does a mast care how much weight is attachted to the bottom of it?

What if you stepped it to a dock and sheeted it in? Would it snap instantly? The dock is never going to move...

I think it cares how much sail you put up on it, so you may want to also use a F18HT main, no jib and an F18HT spin instead of an I20 sailplan.
