Dynex Dux inner forestay?

[Kiwipete]

Great forum. Just a quick question: Is Dynex Dux suitable for use as an inner, sail-carrying forestay? If I can, I'd like to get rid of the detachable wire stay and its great big heavy ABI quick release lever. They beat up my mast and deck. Mostly I use the IF to stop the mast from pumping, but it's meant to carry a storm staysail or storm jib (neither of which has been used in anger yet).

So, I'm hoping a 7mm Dynex stay tensioned by a 6:1 tackle (with the fall taken to a mast winch if necessary) and by the runners (already Dyneema, taken to spi winches) would be a suitable replacement. I'd get rid of the bronze piston hanks on the 2 sails and replace them with soft shackles. Seems to me this would be friendlier to boat and crew, and will be easier to stow.

If any of you have experience (good or bad) with this sort of setup, I'd love to hear about it.
