Rob,
I think Phill just left for a holliday with his family. He probably won't answer this thread within some time.
Regarding your question :
>>>> Will it come 'standard' (if there is such a thing) with a self tacking jib?
What is standard ? But the intention is to fit it with a selftacker the design was made such that it would take such a device without problem. And even a non-selftacker version is offered than the jb will be sheeted off the mainbeam. At least that is what I understand.
