That's more or less the idea. A tack line from the stem fitting (where the headstay attaches at the bow) to the tack of the sail would be fine, allowing the foot of the sail to clear the bow pulpit. Better still if you could lead that same line back to the cockpit (through a turning block at the bow), so you could adjust the luff tension easily.
