Please explain why the righting moment of a sailboat would be improved by more
weight, higher up!

I can't wait to hear this one.

======================================

Righting moment is not improved of course, but roll resistance is
improved a lot. A sailboat with out its mast will roll gunnel to
gunnel in any kind of seaway. I once found that out the hard way on a
dark and stormy night off the New Jersey coast. Not a fun ride.
