I got a reaching strut with Alianna. Never used it but i thought its inboard end was supposed to attach to a ring on the mast. I have 2 rings one on either side of the mastthat seem like they were there for that purpose. Also got a blooper and also never used that. I am down to using only 2 sails nowadays my RF 135 and the mainsail if i am not to lazy to hoist it in which case just the RF 135. Many of u sail that way
