Nice Rig John!
Too bad your sumbrella fabric isn't the same shade/color as the blue hull.
I see something that looks like a short track just above the dodger, underside of boom, that maybe the rigid or boom vang attaches to, can you explain what it is ?
I was thinking something similar to attache to the forward edge of the mast for a whiskerpole attachment so that I could adjust height for jib or genoa.
Why do your lifelines and shrouds appear white? Is it just the lighting or did you replace your rigging?
I like the wide dodger but you need a new storage spot for those fenders.
How about installing a flat bar underneath across those bolts that hold the companionway ladder to the traveller, you could use cheap aluminum carabiners to hook the fenders on the installed flat bar. Drill two holes on the bar at the position of the bolts then undo the nuts and place the bar there and put the nuts back on and you have a bar to hang those fenders on with carabiners. It would get them out of the way while under sail and then you can put them back out while anchored or docked.

IIRC his boat is WHITE hot. Besides, the green gives it more appeal to all those Bean-a-toe sailors out there

I have garhauer marine rigid boom vang mounted on tracks mast & boom, their genny & jib lead bocks , their main sheet vang, their swivel cleats that mount on the genny tracks also . notice that I have Harken swivel cam cleats on both sides of the mast base , S/B for main sail halyard, P/S for ajusting the genny halyard on the Harken furler
if you look at this video you see them

I have white shroud covers on my shrouds one size bigger 3/16 on the bottm 5ft easier to grab & hold on to , 5/32 covers above them the rest of the way up looks alot nicer & looks sharp in appearance keeps the main from chaffing on the shrouds , I have 1/8 shroud covers on the life lines, yet to do the cockpit life lines have not had the chance to put them on yet among alot of other things the shoud covers are split their entire length you just open up the slot and squeeze them over the life lines & shrouds much easier to do on a nice warm day though, I have nice "Blue" storage bag holders that snap over the life lines for the dock fenders but looking for nice green ones

Good looking rig,John!
On a similar subject,do you know how far forward a tang would have to be mounted on the bowsprit to take the stock furler outside the bow pulpit?

Wow! THAT'S SALTY!!!!!

On my Mac19 when I added the 4ft bowsprit I beleive I gave it a 9" raise at the 3ft point so all I had to do was add a large quick release under the furler this gave me the option of rigging the furler 3ft out on the bowsprit with the quick release or move back into the bow tang with the Q/R removed this way I kept the furler forestay at its original length ! here's a pic

on my 26M I have tangs at the 2ft & 3ft points on the 4ft bowsprit / anchor roller for my genny furler & one at the 4ft mark for my Spin, the eyelet at the 3 1/2 ft mark is for attaching a safety harness for those of us that want to go for a crazy ride !!!! of course I've already been out their without the harness shouting videos ? ! I know that does'nt make sense , you can see where the tangs are going to be mounted in this pic

PS I'll try and post a better pic of the bowsprit tomorrow morning on the boat , so if you move your furler out to your desired length "possition" while using your mast raising system to hold up the mast of course add the length of the Q/R and you will know how much of a raise you'll need to give your bowsprit pole I personally think they look more salty when they are raised like the one on my Mac19
Here we go in this pic below you can see the two pad eyes one up front for the Spin , the second one I removed for now from the square opening on the cat walk floor was for a safety harness when one wonders out their for a joy ride but I used it for something else so I have to buy another to replace it ,

in the next pic the third one is to extend the genny furler out to the 3ft mark with longer base tangs , the fourth tang is for the genny furler at the 2ft mark
