   We have just completed the staysail project:

Furler: Furlex 204S (8mm).
Runners: 7mm Dyneema DUX on Selden blocks. 
Staysail: We have utilized the existing self tacker track and rigging (we dropped the size of the sheet from 12mm)

Likely to have our first sail with the new rig plan this weekend.

Over all this project was pretty straight forward (it definitely helped to have rigger , boat builder and sail maker all with experience in these production boat staysail retro fits) . All mast work was done with the rig in place and in accordance with Selden mast recommendations / specifications.                                                                               Will update on how she sails with the new addition over the season.
