Depends. Lots of scenarios for this depending on your masthead
configuration. If you hoist on the windward spinnaker halyard and tack the
staysail on the windward toe rail (legal in my area for most races) AND the
wind is light then it may not chafe on the forestay. Or if you tack to
center
Doesn't a spin halyard chafe if hoisting a staysail?

Interesting comment. Never considered flying a staysail from a pole
topping lift. We always hoist staysails on a spinnaker
