I think the fact that you can't luff the sails in the normal way makes it a difficult rig, particularly on a proa. I'm used to being able to de-power the sails just by letting the sheets run. Is there a way to do that with the square rig?

How about going with a modern square rig like that used on the Maltese Falcon Mega Yacht?
This would seem ideally suited to a proa.
