one option is to attach the top lines to the spreaders, some 5-10 cm off the mast. This way the lines don’t interfere (or interfere less) with raising the sail.
Btw. you need plenty of line for the lazy jacks. Much more than you think (at least, what I thought). 100 ft. may not be enough.

I would look at the designs from EZ Jax and Mack Sails (and maybe Harken). I liked the EZ Jax system (I installed it on my previous boat) best of those I have used because it is easy to pull all the lines forward to secure at the mast to get them out of the way. It is the only system I have seen that can potentially be deployed and cleared from the cockpit (although mine was not set up that way).

The two top most lines attach ... where? I'm aiming for half way between the spreaders and the top of the mast. How long should the top piece be (ie where does the first split occur?
