I am going to do this on Naples Vee Jay next month ... let us know if you notice anything ... but it also involves restoring length of forestay to OD length [longer] ... and that may or may not click with current sail length ... also top of mast further back allows better clearance with the back stay ...
I have harken roller furling which is almost 3 in. shorter than OD forestay length, but enough adjustment to go OD length.
