A Bermuda Sloop, and basicly all sloops should have a M/F ~1 since
everything else fast incease other backsides.

actually old photos of Bermuda Sloop rigs show a very long boom and a small
curved gaff at the top of the mainsail.

the tall narrow sloop rig is usually referred to as a Marconi rig, after the
early radio transmission towers held up by stays which the sailing rig
emulated.
