Hi Wade,
Some terminology so we are all discussing the same thing.
I am not using a barber hauler. Typically a barber hauler (BH) is a separate
line attached to the sheet. The BH is used to position the clew of the sail.
Most of the time the BH will move the sheet in or out. Some can also
position the sheet up or down.
I am using a separate sheet. On my boat and the boat I race on we refer to
that as the 'reaching sheet.' I clip a snatch block to the toe rail, run the
sheet through that and tie to the clew of the sail (I should probably put a
small shackle on the end to make the sail attachment quicker). The sheet is
led to a separate winch, tensioned, and then the regular sheet (which is
lead through the car on the genoa track) is eased. Depending on the point of
sail, the reaching sheet and regular sheet may both be tensioned.
To answer your question, the sheet is led outside of the lifelines.
In regarding to inboard and outboard tracks for the headsails, the boat I
race on, a 1988 C&C 35 mark 3, has two tracks. There is a short (maybe 1')
track set inside of the shrouds that is used for the #3 headsail. That's a
small sail and clew doesn't reach the shrouds. So for upwind work it's
trimmed in hard, inside of the shrouds. For the #1 and #2 headsail there is
another set of tracks. Set aft and further outside. There are line
adjustable cars that we set depending on the sail, wind speed, sea
conditions, etc.
And if we're reaching in conditions where we can't fly a spinnaker we will
use the 'reaching sheet'. It's kind of rare to do that, but when we do it
really pays off. On my boat (no spinnaker) I use the reaching sheet more
often, especially when cruising.

Can I ask Barry, is the barber hauler sheet on the Genoa Lew led to the
snap shackle from outside the lifelines or inside?
