Agree with philosophy of not using main in heavy winds astern.
OTOH, I wonder about the unbalanced forces on the stays/boat when a stern wind
is 30+ knots even with some ofthe 'telephone pole' masts on some C&Cs when only
a head sail is flown.
Mine mast is rather bendy with check stays and in high winds downwind, in
addition to keeping her under control, I admit to some fear of a gravity storm
if I only used the head sail (or with both sails for that matter!).

{} #yiv9367103573 That too. We had an awesome run down the Severn with the wind
blowing 55+ and ripping foam off the wavetops and throwing it up in the trees
ashore. We didn’t even think about the main, the working jib alone gave us a
steady 10-11 knots boatspeed. Everything was going great until we had to turn
around and then discovered our speed under motor was about 0.5 knots! Joe

the main down downwind. Anytime it blowing hard enough to worry about jibing,
main is probably not going to add alot of speed, but will cause more helm and
worry. Jib alone is so simple. David F. Risch, J. D. Gulf Stream
