Welcome to the SBO Forum
What type of system are you thinking.
Your mast and bow are a basic Masthead rigged sloop.

- Just the sail with a snuffer
- Torsion roller reefing sail
Your mast and bow are a basic Masthead rigged sloop.
Understood about masthead rig. Torsion roller reefing sail to eliminate/reduce greatly foredeck work.

Ok.
You need an attachement strong point on the bow, or a sprit to carry the task of the sail.
What des your bow look like. Pictures are helpful. Frame the image vertical looking down at the bow from about three feet back from the bow to out over the bow beyond any pulpit.
Then an image from the side covering about the same area. And a front on image.
This is so how to rig the sprit can be determined. Also you need to identify if the sprit needs a bob stay.

At the moment I'm away from the boat although the sprit idea is going to be a necessity. Many thanks for your thoughts so far. It may be a while before I get to the boat to take photos but I will keep your correspondence to pick up on this later. Ultimately, I am getting the sense that this may be a costly project, right?

Yes money is an issue for a Code Zero.
What type of sailing do you plan on doing? I found an Asymmetrical to fit my more casual cruising. It allows me to sail as high as about 70º and as deep as 170º with the sweet spot at 110º-160º off the wind. I am not racing. I just want to sail even in a light breeze.
