Considered, then rejected idea.
I studied the way Island Packet rigs their staysail and was prepared to do it. Then I read an article about the benefits of being able to easily hank on a stormsail. Later another article surfaced about modifying the staysail so it can be easily reefed into a stormsail. Since we plan to go offshore I want that flexibility. Plus I save the cost of a furler and a new staysail.I have seen this modification but not one closeup on an H37C. But I think you can find some discussion here in the Forum Archives.
