If you want something more simplistic, you can try this: Windward - Keep the mark between your bow and shrouds. Leeward - Keep the mark between your bow and half the distance to the shrouds. It's far from perfect, but it is simple enough to keep you close, while you are trying to figure out

Bronze is a relatively soft material, you should have no issues in drilling it.  Select a drill bit that is a 1/16th smaller than the bolt diameter, use a center punch to get the middle of the bolt.  The residual diameter will help guide the bit as you go, and is easily broken off afterwards.
