Glenn,It would just be a test to see if I like it. I'll add the extra
head stay if I decide it's an option I want going forward.
Michael,I have an asym. The double head sails are supposed to pretty
much take care of themselves from what I've read. Good for single
handing downwind when one needs to catnap.
Regards,
Greg

So this is another of my random thoughts...My sails have hanks. What
would be the issues with flying a 100% and 80% off the forestay in a
double headsail configuration?I'd either use 2 halyards or a bit of
line and a block to get even luff tension.It'll be a mess of sail on
deck for sure.I'd like to play with it before investing in a second
matched sail and second head stay.Greg

It seems to me a double headsail configuration is useful in only a
narrow
range of conditions-like a trans pacific voyage, for starters. Have
you
considered an asymmetrical Spinnaker?

Good set up for downwind work. Hard to manage the sails without two
head stays and two halyards.
