That would be nice. I am a firm believer that 'pi rules' so I'd be very
interested.

Ah - but you have failed to take into account the random factor of
chaos theory.

Simply, a calculation that I just did demonstrated that the stays
disturb minor wind patterns which in turn affect the flight of sea
gulls creating minor vortex disturbances which eventually make their
way into the upper levels of the atmosphere eventually turning into
storms which move the magnetic and Van Allen belts causing more
meteors to be attracted to other sailboats on the other side of the
world sinking them attracting abnormal amounts of bait fish which
affects tidal structures altering weather patterns in China in which
the rice harvest fails and there is world economic collapse.

And it's all your fault.

Aluminum foil - wrap your boat in aluminum foil. Shiny side out. It
reflects and focuses the sun's energy and repells all asteroids
strikes.

Aluminum foil formed into a hat has also been known to deter all things
extraterrestial.

You left out something. The Aluminum foil hat MUST be pyramidal.
