I crewed on a boat last night with a rather baggy main and thought about this notion I have read that increasing backstay tension will flatten the main...which this sail needed! Thinking about the geometry, I cannot see how bending the mast will flatten the sail, my imagination says the opposite will happen. Can someone help me understand?
My boat has no easy adjustment for the split backstay so this is mostly theoretical, and very interesting for me!
Thanks,
Dan
