Other comments	Hi,My O'Day22 has a top rigg and the sail shape is very old fashioned.I want a new sail bigger and modern one but because of the top rigg there is no place for the rouch. The stays are not designed properly for a modern sail therefore I am a bit concerned to usea tackle at the aft stay (not a real bacstay)considering side stays possition are not keeping the mast from falling if not tensioned.Any kind of suggestion is vellcomedthanks Zsolt RegenyiHungary
