For some reason I can't remember which boat it is, but either the new Hunters, or the new Beneteau have eliminated the forestay wire, and are going to structual luff lines that double as forestays... I will check today and see if I can get a model of boat doing this, but it may solve your problems.
Personally I would stick with a foil furler, perhaps with a screeched or a-kite on a furler.
