Hi Chas,
Glad to be able to help.

Some more coments on the setup; As you can se from the pictures the sheet is almost parallell to the genoa track so I don't think that this setup increases the tripping hazard so much. All my halyards and reefing lines have been led back to the cockpit so the part of the sheet going from the turnbuckles to the boom does not create any problems for me. If I need to go to the fordeck I would normaly go on the windward side outside of the shrouds.

The winches I use for the mainsheet are the original spinnaker sheet winches.

We have been using the genoa sheet winches for the spinnaker sheets.

Some owner chose to splice the two ends into an endless rope - by doing so you can adjust the sheet from both sides an still have enough rope on both sides. We have chosen not to do so, by paying some attention to what side have the most rope you can alway have enough to let out from both sides.
