Push/Pull ... well - it is effectively PUSHING the mast forward by PULLING the boom forwards /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
As for deforming - it probably has more effect on fractional rigs - which this isn't ... and the effect is greater on a dinghy where you get 16:1 systems as standard .... but it can be acheived on a 4:1 system by pulling the mainsheet hard on, then tensioning the kicker then releasing the mainsheet ...
probably won't make you any faster though ...
