Morgan O says:

It actually depends on the size of the rig and the momentum. The rig can be
undersized!!! ...and then it's the momentum that doesn't matter!

Morgan, for someone who professes to know little about the subject, I can only
say that you are accurate - you know little.

Since you don't know his boat, you can't say for shure ..and that's why I
didn't.

When you have designed boats that have raced around the world, and come home
with their rigs intact, then come back and tell me I'm wrong. Until then,
either buy the book I recommended to you, and read up on the subject, or be
quiet and stop giving out potentially dangerous information with no knowledge
of the subject.
