I have no experience with mine yet, but the instructions on my boat pointed out another consideration. The boat isn't just pushed along at the mast, it is also pulled along by the main sheet block, where it is being pulled up as well as to the side and forward. In heavier wind, it helps keep you from heeling quite as much if that pull is from the leeward side.
