Loose-footed - I aim to try it.  Being able to adjust the draft has to be a good thing.

Do you have an outhaul?  Can you provide details?

Jib sheets catching the boom - Yes - on every tack.  I'd love to know solutions.  Meanwhile I'm trying to keep the jib low (to avoid it fouling the spar) and passing the jib sheets over the boom with just enough tension to keep them in place.  Another method (not tried) could be to attach the tack (forward bottom corner) of the mainsail as near the tip of the boom as possible, ie reducing the sticking-out-bit to a minimum.

Lazy jacks - Let us know how you get on.  I'm keen to have them.

Bleater - Yes!
Rotation of the boom - Yes.  I'm aiming to fit a "cow hitch" loop at the required location.

Bits of string at the mast - Sloop version - IMHO, fit the two halyards on opposite sides of the mast to reduce congestion.
John's suggestion to dispense with the burgee halyard sounds sound.
