Pretty standard mainsheet routing down along the vang to the mast base blocks. Our traveller (not pictured) has been changed from a camber following track to a kinda ugly flat track. Playing the traveller in anything more than about 10kts was difficult due to the mainsheet tightening when pulling to weather. Still not easy, but better.
I found this bow pulpit for about $80 at the local resale shop. Our old pulpit had sustained damage during a dismasting incident and poorly repaired. This whole area of the deck was recored, so I was able to put some serious reinforcing in to our anticipated reconfiguration. I'm probably going to add some cleats at some point, but the sampson post has worked really well so far.
Let me know if you have any other questions. Love to see some pics of your boat!
