I copied this set-up from old posts and pictures Garry had posted. I had inquired on this website about winches and most people said they were not necessary on a boat our size, I think they might be fun to have though. I am contemplating adding tracks starting about where the (stock boat)fairlead eyes are and extending them aft 3-4 feet a couple inches inboard of the gunnel and position cam cleats aft in-line with the tracks. With the track starting that far forward, I can position the lead forward when I use the stock "hankerchief" jib and it will be in the same relative position. I would not want to go with a real large Genoa unless I had roller furling, so I'm considering a mid-range size maybe 120-130. Too big and it will complicate single-handing IMO. Then for real light air I have the genniker (or drifter , I'm not sure what to call it.) It is light nylon, multi-colored like a Spinnaker but not full at the top -more genoa shaped than spinnaker shaped. i have a pole for it also.

I can't take the credit for this design,
