There is a real problem though with the new high aspect square top mains. Being very full high up they tend to twist off and power up as you bear away resulting in a pitch-pole. Easing the mainsheet tends to make it worse. Only a big dump seems to be the answer or even maybe sheeting on harder, which isn't really an option on the bigger boats. Dumping the main is dangerous especially if the kite is still full. With no backstay/s, the mast is gorne.

Leaving the spi sheeted on ain't gunna help the pitch-pole much either. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
