I like your solution here, and I'm following a similar plan, only using the
Chinese Junkrig set in a tabernacle that will allow raising and lowering the
mast in place.

I eliminated the problem by eliminating the stays. Also no need for jib
furler or downhaul since I also eliminated the jib. I installed a
Sunfish-type lateen rig on my P14. It really simplifies rigging and sailing.
