Welcome to the band of BC26 owners. 

I also had a Liberty 22 ( Rubato) - the very first one and kept it for around 20 years, also run their website. The BC26 is a step up and completely different - has more room, is bigger and faster. I have had mine for 2 years now but still sometimes yearn after the 22 with its simplicity. But then I remember the long journeys up Southampton water which is so much quicker in the BC26.

I would be very interested in hearing on your thoughts about moving. Where are you sailing?

Best regards
Andy.

The mast compression post inside the cabin was made removable for more comfortable overnighting. Notice the giant size beanbag which serves both as versatile bedding, and as emergency buoyancy.

The photo's show the deck layout and the mast head. The blue line is the Dyneema 4 mm topping lift halyard. The blocks are small blocks with ball bearings.

I was assuming you have a jib boom., but looking at photo's from the newer BRe's i see some with a mainsail boom lift. My boat is one of the earlier BRE's (nr. 7).
But for the main sail boom it would be similar, with the line going to the aft end of the boom. It needs to be slackened when sailing, so it won't obstruct the mainsail shape.
This is the simple version, may you have something more sophisticated in mind. May be the Forum readers with a recent BRe can post some photo's.

Hello Jane,
Rigging the topping lift is quite easy. I will send you details of my boat in the course of today/this weekend.
