I recently purchased a new Hunter 380 with in-mast furling. When pointing to weather in 15 knots+ of true wind, the headstay falls off 15+ inches. Depending on sea conditions it will pump loosing a lot of drive. I've checked the manual and it calls for up to 14" of sag. Has anyone tried to tension up this rig, and what risks do I take, given that there isn't a back stay to off-set loads
