[C320-list] removable inner forestay

[mike at brycesystems.com]

Mike + Cindy, 
Havent heard anyone discuss this topic before on the C320-list. Solents are a good upgrade for any offshore distance sailing. I see no reason why a competent rigger couldnt set one up. I have heard (and seen) solents setup on J105s (my current platform but I still lurk here!!). Go to www.practicallysailing.com. Articles are hard to find but suggest you click on rigging or maybe his posts from Sept - Dec 2009. Feel free to contact the site's author Joe Cooper as he's very knowledgeable and would be happy to help

Subject: [C320-list] removable inner forestay

I'm considering adding  a removable inner forestay or solent stay. the
purpose is to hoist a  storm jib in heavy air along with a triple reefed
main or by itself. The second objective is to fly a second jib in a twin-jib
configuration poled out for downwind sailing, for this reason I'm leaning
toward a solent stay. If there are any 320 owners that have either an inner
forestay or solent stay I would like to hear their opinions.
