I had a rotator arm on my Nacra 5.7, which allowed one to lock, limit, or force rotate the mast to any desired position.
You could destroy the power in the sail by not allowing it to rotate between tacks.
The masts, even on legacy beach cats, are nowhere near circular, & if not pointed into the relative wind, (or some reasonable angle of attack), the telltales will be anywhere but streamlined, with a resulting loss of power.
