This may speed the pole set but has unfortunate side effects. First the oversize pole makes a great ramrod. Sprit boat classes like the Melges & J/105 have restricted setting their poles before the mark as too many were holing other boats and/or breaking their poles. Second there is the potential to take out the forestay in the event of a collision, likely resulting in loss of the mast. Finally, you'll catch the jib sheets on it when you tack. I wouldn't recommend it or if measuring, approve it.
