If your biggest jib is already on the furler, then the solent probably isn't practical, unless you wanted to put a tiny jib on for nasty weather, Your best bet is probably to retro-fit the other two sails to go into the furler foil and bend them on when there's bigger wind in the forecast than you want to fly a 150% in. It's good to take sails in and out of furler foils from time to time: makes sure everythings running smooth and gives you a chance to lube up. If you want lots of sail options, perhaps you should look at a cutter or ketch for your next boat.
