Regarding jibs...if you plan to go to modern self-tacking, this typically has a longer luff that passes below the bridle wires and the tack is set on the spinnaker pole. So, be careful then getting a jib unless you plan to rig a spinnaker pole. There are "short luff" jibs available (LandenbergerSails offers it) that presumably stop at the bridle.
Otherwise, stay with the traditional jib and get a sailmaker to cut you a new one from the old trashed one.
