Too complex, too many moving parts to fail, not necessary. The sail, mast and rig will be far stronger already than it needs to be. In big waves and wind it will just heel over and lay flat, or even roll and tumble, it won’t matter. It is self-righting and unsinkable.

Don’tcha wish the bigger stuff was like that? I saw an auction for an ex Coast Guard training vessel thats designed to roll completely and come upright, I saw a video of one used I think just off the coast in Oregon, massive breakers there. They had the engine mounted very securely and able to run upside down, must have been a Detroit.
