Soft Solent with 80-75% Jib and Inboard Sheeting

[rgleason]

We are getting a new jib which will mount on the furler or with soft hanks on a dyneema solent slightly aft of the roller furler. To allow tighter sheeting upwind this jib is going to be 80-75% LP. The boat is masthead rigged sloop with 2' bowsprit and typical cap shrouds and forward and aft lowers with the typical problems associated with sheeting from the railing for smaller jibs. The tightner for the 3/8" dyneema solent is a sliding car with four part pulley in the bowsprit construction, with backing plates.

The inner sheeting arrangement proposed is shown in the 3 first attached diagrams. The typical cockpit winch will be used with a second inner sheet lead from far aft to improve the sheeting angle. The clew lead adjustment will use two secured padeyes on the deck close to the cabin or mounted on the cabin side, and several low friction rings to create a 3 part intitial sheet lead adjustment, with this dyneema line lead back below (or above) the cabin portals to a two part low friction adjustment with snatch block at the cockpit.

One of the problems is getting the line back to the cockpit without interfering with the portals. The bottom of the portals is 1.5" above the deck, so the choice of the final low friction device that changes direction to go aft, must be less that 1.5" and it is using a diamond padeye.

I have shown 3 choices for padeyes that might work.
1. Typical Diamond Padeye
2. Antal Dyneema Directional Padeye (expensive)
3. Ronstan Removable Lash Padeye

Is it possible to make a tight soft shackle with low friction loop attached to the diamond padeye that would keep the line being lead aft, below 1.5"?

Can the eye of the diamond padeye be used directly for this purpose?
Can the Antal dyneema directional padeye be used directly without a soft shackle and low friction ring?
If not, is it possible to make a tight soft hank and ring as shown that would be lower than 1.5""
Perhaps the Ronstan Removable lash Padeye would give more room for a soft shackle and ring?

Notice that the Pogo 12.50 has a fairly low sheet lead adjustment line going back to the cockpit.
