I installed a traveler track from the mast base to the forward most point on
the deck I wanted the baby stay to reach on my old C&C 34. Put an adjustable
car on the track controlled from the cockpit. Used dyneema for the stay.
Downwind adjusted the car aft to get out of the way for dip-pole jibing and aft
pole adjustment. Worked very well. Should be helpful for end to end jibing
too. The dyneema was on its fourth season when I sold the boat.
Baby stay reduces mast pumping upwind, so I would not remove it.

Subject: Stus-List Dyneema baby stay
Hi,
I am looking for a solution to help make my baby stay more easily removable.
I presently have a standard 1x19 SS cable turn buckle set up, and I plan to
install a pelican-like hook attachment. I have a colleague who is
replacing his SS lifelines with Dyneema line. This got me to think about
using Dyneema for the baby stay. Does anyone have any experience in using
a Dyneema solution for any rigging arrangements?
