Sail plan CD 30 C

I have a CD 30 cutter and the previous owner equipped it with a 150 Genoa with roller furling. The original Yankee is not equipped with a bolt rope to use it in the furler and the stay-sail is quite old. The major downside of this is I have to take in the Genoa each time I tack to get it past the inner forstay. I have thought about restoring the sail plan to the original but want to be sure the Yankee will tack through cleanly. I assume the former owner was planning on not using the stay sail and removing the inner fore stay.
I very much like to use the self tending stay sail in heavy weather when single handing.

I would like to hear what other owners opinions are.
