460 Staysail Sheet routing

[hosemandc]

I have a 2000 Hunter 460 with the staysail option. I cant figure out how to route the sheets to fly both the staysail and the Jib. There is a double wide jib car but only a single cheek at the winches in the cockpit. Do I switch the single cheek out for a double or is there a trick to this? I am in Kodiak Alaska so there is no rigger to chat with.

Interesting. Can you describe the staysail option and how it connects to the deck? I saw a 420 with an extra forestay and it threw me. Never saw it before and didn't know why it was there. Was wondering if it was really there to fix some other problem with the mast

Hunter offers a removable inner forstay for a cutter configuration. It connects to the deck on a D-ring and pelican hook. The last owner of the boat used it as a sloop and had the forstay and staysail stowed in the small stateroom in brand new condition. It only took me 5 minutes to install once I was up the mast.
