Inner Forestay or Solent Stay
 
For a mast head sloop rig. I plan to add either an inner forestay (with runners), or a Solent Stay. The stay will be used with hank on storm sails and jibs less than 100%. Do you have any recomendation for either a inner forestay or Solent Stay?
Regards

So Solent
 
Hello,
Solent stay, just about every time, assuming you have a furler on the jib. Properly installed, it won't need runners, and will allow a hank-on drifter, so you bracket the Genoa's range of windspeed.
Fair leads,
Brion Toss

Thanks for the response Brion.

Inner forestay or solent stay
 
The solent rig on our Saga 43 is terrific (I have also added a removable inner stay for a storm jib). Just keep in mind that with the solent rig the forwardmost sail cannot be tacked through - it must be furled first.
