And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

Well it makes it hard to let out the boom leaving bearing off as the only option. Unfortunately, by this point the rudder is out of the water as well. The ship will self right as she bears off naturally. But I was always going over the rail at that point and standing on a centerboard. Keeps your feet dryer.
Lee boards indicate a design with no keel or a shallow one. A design for shallow waters. If you could see the whole ship, I'd guess that the masts aren't to tall. If I were sailing that ship I'd be worried.
I don't know about sailing but I'll bet your sail is not supposed to be in the water.
