Two forestays

[juanluis]

I’m considering installing a Solent forestay in a SO409. I’ve been searching through forums to look for opinions regarding pros and cons. Somebody thinks that using two forestays with one backstay will cause a decrease in the tension of the forestays, and the sag in the forestay under sail pressure would be too high, making pointing more difficult. I’d like to know if somebody has experience with two forestays ant her/his opinions.
