Stay sails are tricky. I do the mains first, then add the stay sails afterwards just for that reason. You can rig them first if you rig them as far forward as you can. Usually.
Looking good.

this is the first time I have attempted staysails , bob , I did them first , simply because I know what a clutz I am , sure as eggs , I would have torn a yard off otherwise , 
easier for me this way .
I know one thing for sure , next time I start at the main mast , and work my way out , the tie off points were horrific to get at . but at least it’s done , onwards and upwards .
