[Public-List] Baby Stay Mast Connection ?

[jon]

The Alberg30 sailplan that is shown on Alberg30 Brochure(this site) would 
appear to describe the very thing. There is a small headsail that has its 
head above the spreaders and its foot about 18" to 24" inside the headstay. 
I have always been curious about that possibility to have asmaller headsail 
in strong winds set further back from the headstay, presumably for better 
performance when beating. Any ideas? Jonathan EMMY#25
