Bill, Play station is not really a good example by anyones defination. In its original configuration "blind Freddy" could see that the mast step position was so far forward that there was always going to be "bow pressure" problems unless it only carried a "pocket handkerchief" as its sail power. It is still "relatively" far from its maximum potential fore and aft stability, even with the extra bow length that has been added due to the ratio of its mast step position relative to it's overall length. Using "play station" as a example will surely only confuse rather than clarify for sailors without the adequate knowledge to make their own "accurate" judgement.
Just a comment, not a criticism
