FWIW some dimensions we found to work.

This is for our Catalina 42. Full batten main. Before installing them I looked a several installations and even scaled some from magazine photos. In general this works pretty well. The line up the mast goes inside about chest high then out through simple bulls-eye fairleads coming out the mast. When furled they go to a hook on the boom vang (not shown) that keep them back from the mast so they don't slap.
