on my 5.2, I used to take a bunji from the outer extreme ends of the front beam (hooked to a small loop of line I tied to the dolphin striker ends) up to the mast through the diamond wires. It would go from beam end, from front to back through one side of the diamond wires, around the back of the mast, through the other diamond wire, then to the end of the dolphin striker end. This formed a triangle and kept the jib sheets from getting near all the hardware at the base of the mast. The bunji had enough "give" to it that it would keep things from getting snagged on it.
