Furling TWO head sails? Interesting. inelegant but interesting.

I don't remember seeing the original, but it can be done with two
forestays, two wire-luff headsails on special tacks, or a combination of
the two.

Personally, I won't put an upwind sail on a wire luff again.

Two headsails at once can be handy, as can be a small and large one that
can be used independently (think cutter rigs).
