Harvey,
The answer is to simply maintain your standard standing rigging. This thread started with a question regarding a redesign of standing rigging. The forward lowers were removed to and replaced by lower side shrouds. I don't consider the hum of the rigging in the wind at the dock mast pumping. I have seen covered roller furled headsails flog in the wind and that should be avoided to prevent sail and furler damage. It seems to me I can remember my brother attaching bungee cords to his O'Day rigging every night to prevent rigging hum while sleeping aboard.

I sort of understand what you are saying, but what is the solution for the C-27 rig.
