Congrats on the new boat. The 40 is pretty much my ideal (budget) cruising boat. Given the location of out huge anchor locker, I'm not sure you could fit a Solent stay on our boats. I have seen a staysl stay fitted aft of the anchor locker with a chain plate down the fwd bulkhead and a storm jib hung off that. Frankly, I am pretty happy--even in the lightest winds--sailing with a 100% jib. Mind you, if the breeze is under 15 and aft of 80 degrees, I put up the asymmetric kite. It's easy to do singlehanded thanks to the sock.
