- Being the one who started all of this, and that the question was with regard
- to cruising sailboats, what about the option of a double headstay? I have
- seen a few boats which simply have two headstays side by side. I assume you
- could do everything that the foil allows while at the same time having the
- advantage of the hanks for ease of sail handling on the deck (not loosing
- the sail over the side).
