Hi Chris,

Interesting to see your setup. I agree with your concerns.. you might try upwind performance with the stay sail. For my 46ft Maramu the performance is great above 20kts of true wind. Very smooth sailing and just a bit more angle on the tacks. My staysail is a 95% jib, so pretty small, and easy to handle. You might want to try it out first to see if there is any benefit..

How about the mast fittings? Do you have any pictures on that?

Best regards,

Thomas
