That's what I think as well.
Ok, to be more accurate: On a reach or downwind in light winds (not yet heeling up), I would like to stall all over the sail at once, so I maximise lift. Upwind I would like to stall in the middle first. That is because I would like to have a good lift distribution over the mast height just before the stall to maximise drag/lift. That's my theory, not necessarily the truth.
