Solent Stay

[benz]

Hi Joel,
You'll need a halyard, of course--perhaps's there's one rigged for a spinnaker? You'll want to make sure the stay doesn't interfere with the furler arrangement or with flying the jib--it will make tacking the jib difficult, unless you make the new stay removeable, as with a Highfield lever. It seems like if a furler is a MUST for singlehanding, you'll only use the hank-on sails when with other people on board. Do you sail accompanied often enough to warrant the expense and trouble?
