I've had a hank-on jib on my 1996 MacGregor 26x since I bought her new. Now, approaching 70, I'm looking into purchasing a CDI roller furler with 150% genoa sold by Blue Water Yachts (roller furler currently not available to order due to out of production). BWY recommends and only sells the 150% genoa which would appear lines need to go outside the sidestays.
I haven't been able to find a sailing picture yet that shows that configuration (although could be in picture 2 below). I saw YouTube videos but one stated they had a 115% genoa which is probably what is in picture #1 below. The sail and lines would be inside the sidestays which is how the jib works now. I'm guessing the deck hardware needed per BWY is in the picture #1 that I boxed in red below. I'm not sure if I have the expertise / ability to hook them up to the boat. Any recommendations on hardware installation and how the lines run to the cockpit with 150% genoa?
