Dear Bill
Thanks a lot for studying my pictures!
The mast bend down low can be reduced by moving the mainsheet attachment point to the boom or clew of the sail forward, toward the mast.
You are right! I have to move the attachmentpoint of the mainsheet. I had a boombreakage this summer and the position of the boom attachmentpoint is not at the same place as before. I moved it a little back because, I was looking for more mast rotation, witch was successfully achieved.
the interactions between the sails and mast/rigging are complex!
thanks again for your help!
