Baby Stay

I have a "Baby Stay" on my B381 that I would like to use to hang a storm jim if needed but not sure if it's designed for that. It also has a protective tube/sleeve for the first 5 feet or so that would have to be removed. I would hate to have to lower the genoa and raise a storm jib on the headstay in the storm. I know about the ATN storm jib that goes around the furled jib but I'm more interested in using the baby stay if possible. Any suggestions? Thanks

I have first 345 with the same baby stay. I think it is too far aft to be useful. I am looking at using the staysail pad eye at the tack and the topping lift as a halyard and hoisting the storm jib either in stops or on its own sniffer or similar.
