Bale on cheek block...

Max, since your cockpit is identical to mine, did they set up turning blocks at the stern end to turn your jib sheets around? My turning/cheek blocks each have a bale as part of the design. That is the place to attach the block. I use those bales mostly for the jib sheets when the jib is poled out for downwind/trade wind passages. You could add a couple of heavy duty U bolts. I do not trust the toe rail to handle that kind of load.
