relocation of jib sheets

[31099]

I have a 1999 Hunter 310. I would like to install a set of winches in the cockpit behind the fiberglass arch. I believe these spots are intended for spinniker winches but I would use them for the jib sheets. Does anyone have any experience with such a project? Specifically how and where to mount another jib track and car, as well as the blocks used to route the jib sheets to the new winches.
All advice is appreciated.

Great

I can't help with the install but what you are planning to do is what I have on my new 36.
You most likely have the jib tracks on the cabin roof and mine are outside
on where the life line bottom's are mounted.
I fine using the rear winch's for the jib makes it so easy to adjust for me from the cockpit and really hardly ever use the blocks for the lines I just leave them rapped around the winch.
If I can I will post a photo.

Helpful photos

Thank you Nick. The photos are very helpful. Yes my jib track is on the cabin top. I think I can mount another below it in a similar location to yours. Then I just have to get around the fiberglass arch to the winches The whole idea is to make it better to single hand.
