I don't think you read my post.   A paddle isn't applicable here at all.  In fact, it would make things worse by adding cross sectional area to the system.

You can also add a plastic "paddle" to balance aerodynamic loads.  Basically
you look at the cross sectional area wind load on each side of the mast
mounting point.  The idea is the paddle adds enough cross section area to
make each side of the boom balanced.  Of course I wonder what happens for
all the various wind directions with the changing cross section area.
