interesting mast location for a proa. how does the mainsheet control work?

the sail is very small - a foresail of 3m² - which is attached to the blue line, and slides foreward and aft.
Needs a boom, which I will install these days. In spite of the small sail area the boat runs nicely with every little gust ... the mast is from a windsurfer, reinforced at the base ... needs some reinforcement in the upper third, as I noticed that it bends a bit too much.
