Not a huge fan of the solent solution. For light air, I think you are far better off with a furling spinnaker, Doyle UPS, etc. For a storm sail solution it really depends. For constant use a dedicated inner forestay is preferable. For the cruising I did, (offshore to the BVI followed by island hopping) a “semi permanent” inner stay was the solution. When we knew we were going offshore one off us would go up the mast and install it; simple turnbuckle on the deck side. For island hopping we would take it down and have all the benefits of a clear foredeck.
Just an opinion.
