Lines led aft
I am not sure of the E27, but on my E32, I thru-bolted spring-loaded swively blocks to the deck at the base of the mast, then to a Garhauer organizer block (flush) to make the turn along the deckhouse roof and back to rope clutches at the cockpit. Made a clean install, and works great. I mounted the swivel blocks close to the mast so the halyards could go under the sail cover, but I might consider not doing that way if I was going to do it again. I think I might mount them a little away from the mast so they can be outside of the sail cover, and then be bungeed away easier to prevent the wind-slapping in the dock. You would have to consider that the base of the mast area would not be as clean that way, so might be a tossup.
I like the way I have it, but makes it tougher to get the lines away from the mast when the cover is on.
