Logically you would not expect it to work but I can assure you it makes the boat turn so fast it is breathtaking. It could be a little deeper on the M as the boat puts her nose down and runs out of rudder if you carry the rig too long but I suppose that is a good indication that you kept it on too long in the first place!
