[Public-list] Dual Headstay

[Bob Crinion]

Curious,

I have noticed cruising boats with an inner stay for the smaller working jib
but it is not a masthead jib but more like a 3/4 setup with the top part
fastened several feet lower than the masthead.

I would be interested in seeing how others geared up an inner stay for a
smaller jib.

Last season  was my first with a jib furling system; it was a wise decision
but I gave up on sail choices. My sails are all hi cut for coastal / blue
water cruising and I converted my 135% for the furler. Refing this high cut
135% does not do the job of a normal working jib. I decided I want the best
of both worlds a dual headstay sytem.
   
  I noticed Yves Gelinas has modified to a dual headstay and I am in pursuit
of the same.
   
  My question is towards Stephen Sousa; can the shop that did the new mast
heads for the group modify a mast head and the stemhead fitting to
accomidate a dual head stay system? I am in talks with Yves to supply me
pictures and or a sketch of his system.
