Thanks for the comments.
That is the objective for genral use jib lead placement, but eyeballing the jib lead angle is difficult, a more usuable approach is heading up to luff the jib - luffs at top first, move the lead forward, luffs at bottom first, move the lead aft.

There is proably a right location for the inboard track to avoid interior furniture and the headliner, contact other C&C 25 owners on the C&C discussion forum and see if you can get a pattern/measurements.
