Well... yeah. I don't recommend the rig being that loose.

The 14 on the other hand is sailed with a loose rig. The rule of thumb was to grab the shroud and turn your hand 90 degrees. The mast would have to come up quite a bit to come out, but I have had it happen to me upon hard pitch pole.

Once again, the long (rigging) forestay is just to be SURE that the wire takes NO load when sailing as shown in the photos, it can get close with dramatic rake.
