Should work, but I'm not a fan of going max extension on masts & booms...sails are designed for certain mast lengths. You can buy mast extensions, although I'd prob make my own with the amount of broken masts I have lying about!

yeah id say it would have an effect because your extension will have a different flex to a mast would.
