No problem. Some boats have so much roach, the main overlaps
the backstay by a foot or more.

Many full-batten boats have to give the boom a quick pump to
get the sail re-cambered to the new side when they tack.
Again, not really a problem.

Both can be a little annoying, but it's the price to pay to
have a boat that performs well. It's a lot smarter than
having the sail a foot short of the black bands and claiming
that one is gaining sail area.
