Dave,
I really like that solution.
When you set up your Solent stay, did you run a chain plate down the bulkhead
for the chain locker? If so, is that tied in to the hull strongly enough?
For the next couple of years, at least, my cruising is unlikely to involve any
passages long enough to war

I had ATN do a conversion on a wire-luff storm jib that the PO left on the
boat. I don't recall the cost, but it seemed very reasonable.

Hey chuck, I did the free flying jib on my DS22 and it worked like a charm. The
sail was the jib off our family's decommissioned Lightning. The boat screamed
upwind. It was tacked to a deck cleat and hoisted with the the spin pole

Generally in high winds l'll hoist the blade (100%) an
Brent,
Though I'm no expert, I did some research on storm sails and came to the
conclusion a storm trysail is more desirable, than a storm jib. The trysail
will work without the jib. Another option is a free flying storm jib tacked to
a deck fitting, so the center of effort is closer to the mas
I have a "storm jib" for my 25, which is a heavily built 65% headsail using
white Dacron and having a 2 ft pendant on the tack to raise it above the bow
pulpit. It's somewhere around 100 square feet, which is larger than the 60
square feet of orange recommended for an offshore racing storm sail.

PIYA Special Regulations Governing Minimum Equipmenmt and Accomodtions
Standards effective January 2011 advises an area for a storm jib not to exceed
5% of I square. This was a candidate for upgrading, so it may have changed. My
storm jib is very heavy and is orange in color.
