If your downwind speed is high enough the front sail will not be in the shadow of the rear one and the two combined can actually make a quite powerful rig. The rear sail will have to be sheeted in further because the front sail will skew the angle of attack of the rear sail. Be sure to put tell tales in your sails and sheet you sails to those.
