I tried it - albeit in light winds and it worked better in one direction than the other - go figure. Unfortunately, I don’t remember which direction that was.😕

Do you, by any chance, have a picture of your solution?

This is it. I spliced a loop in one end of the dyneema and used a bowline on the other. The length is a little short for two splices. The attachment point is an existing pad eye on the rail. There are actually two dyneema lines attached here. The forward leading line is a hold down for the dinghy.

On my demo sail last Spring, I believe the skipper attached a line off the windward foredeck eyelet, similar to how 32Mike described above. We hung up "in irons" (the phrase I learned sailing as a kid) while we reefed the main. The skipper swears the 348 would hold stable as such indefinitely. I have not had occasion to try this since taking delivery, but a good method to know!

Thank you, Hugh.  Also, I just found out what was to be a May delivery is now a July delivery (from Germany).  Ugh.

Having a padeye by the toerail can also be useful so that you can set up some form of barber hauler for the jib.  This was my solution.
