For R/C control I have decided to let the inner foresail (genoa?) tack freely but with some restraint from a thin round elastic (Ca 1-1.5mm) which will run on a short horse across the deck just forward of the pinrail. 

The flying genoa (klyver sail, or whatever!?) will be controlled by one sailwinch mounted below deck, abeam the main mast. The sheets are guided by pulleys below deck to pass up through brass guide tubes which emerge on the side decks. It is hoped that the sheets will then run to the approx position of the scale mounted blocks for the 'klyver' sail. 

If the scale kit blocks fail to function properly, I will mount additional brass blocks near these and the kit blocks will just be there for show.

The mainsail will be controlled by a winch mounted aft abeam the cockpit / steering well. The sheet from this will emerge from a brass guide tube positioned just below the guide ring (part 505) on the forward side of the mizzen mast. It is hoped that the mainsail will then be controlled  by simply pulling the boom in to centre and letting it out again on the next tack.

The flying genoa cannot be controlled so easily though. I think it will have to be physically PULLED from side to side across the forestay of the inner foresail (genoa?) Otherwise it will get 'stuck' on the windward side when tacking. 

The mizzen sail will also be restrained-only and not controlled, by a 1mm round elastic from the mizzen horse, up to the mizzen boom.

Hope it all works...I'm rather committed to the plan now!
