Why not add a furler for the main?
In Response To: Comments please on a possible boat modification.. ()
I've seen boats with aftermarket furlers for the main that mount on the mast. It would seem an easier change than gearing up as a staysail ketch.

- Yeah, what the heck's the name for that configuration.
- Humm , Staysail Ketch

- Interesting idea Todd. Sort of a mizzen staysail, but with perhaps better windward performance.
- So what's the problem with using the main?
- Ever seen a fisherman on a schooner?
- You would have a staysail ketch
