Has anyone added a Solent Stay to their sloop? I'm interested to hear of how it turned out.

I have a Compass 28 with furling headsail, and would like another heavy-weather option. At the moment my options are a baggy part-furled headsail, or pulling down the genoa or #1 then raising the smaller jib on the furler. Not much fun solo when the wind's up.

From what I've seen and read it doesn't sound too complicated, but I've said that before and regretted it.

Cheers, Graeme
