Sounds to me more like a rig for heaving to. the idea is to throw the mess 
in the water and let it hold the boat's bow into the wind

About the headstay idea: how about a foil type roller furler (it basically 
slides over the existing stay, with modifications) and then have a tape 
for that foil added to your present sails. Not sure about staying in class 
with the foil, but it sure looks efficient
