Hi Adam!

I just got back from vacation and noticed your post. Hopefully it's not too late to offer a reply.

We have stand-up blocks at the tail end of our genoa tracks. They are plenty far enough aft to give a good lead to the asym. Our asym is fairly large size-wise, so if yours is more conservatively proportioned, the stand-up blocks will definitely be fine.

From the stand-up block, we can lead the sheets to either the primary winches or to the secondary winches on the coachroof.

If possible, I suggest having a running rather than a fixed tack line, that can be adjusted from the cockpit. Good luck with the new sail!
