@Windpilot couple more questions. You mentioned the double turn blocks and additional deck hardware to accommodate the staysail sheets etc ... What did you end up doing hardware wise for leading the sheets beyond the double blocks. Not really an ideal spot for a secondary track set up.... Considering an controllable friction ring lead setup, but curious how you ran your sheets.
did you end up rigging mast storage for your two poles? And have you experienced any need to run guys on the staysail when having both polled out?
