[quote=geepaks]The diamonds are not going to control the mast stiffness above the wires. For ideal wind flow across the mast and main you want the direction of the mast basically pointing towards the wind for proper flow. If you were to limit mast rotation it would seem the mast would be more rigid as you forcing it to work from the major axis (thicker section of aluminum) when applying downhaul and mainsheet tension. The only time I limit mast rotation is when depowering (I run prebend setup). When the mast is not facing the wind direction correctly it's not as efficient (thus depowers). When you sailing next time limit the mast from rotating as see how the performance changes.[/quote]
