I did try to use the spare jib halyard to pull up a small inner jib or staysail, but could never get enough tension on it to make the sail work properly.  Ideally I think the attachment point should be just above the topping lift attachment, but then you need running backstays to support the load on the inner forestay.

>> Thank a lot Ray! Nice setup.  It seem you followed the Catalina instructions quite good!  My windlass is installed right 8n the center, so might have to check if it fits like that.  What are you using on your mast to attaché the innerstay? Where did you installed it?

There are enough layers of fiberglass connecting the plywood to the hull and wrapped around it, so that even if the plywood wasn't there, the fiberglass could take the load.  Where the turnbuckle goes through the bottom of the chain locker, I glued in a PVC pipe cap with a hole in the end, and sealed around the turnbuckle with butyl to allow some flexibility. See pics below.
