We need to modify the masthead to fly a spinnaker. There are three existing jib halyards: one dedicated to the roller furling, one to the port, and one to the strbd. We are planning to pull the mast and are considering if we should attach some kind of vale with a block outside of everything to accomodate a spinnaker. I am attaching a figure of the existing masthead. Has anyone worked this out already?

The E38 factory brochure describes this as a special tri-halyard fairing for jib and spinnaker halyards. We've used the wing halyards for an A-Spin without any problem. The head of a tapered mast doesn't have much space - what is your goal in adding gear?
