Default Perfect cruising bermuda dinghy

Perfect cruising bermuda dinghy

I put this as what I believe best for a 18' cruising dinghy, main 10,5m2
(unstayed mast)... which is probably wrong, but maybe not all.! ;o)

# Loose foot
# Full battens
# 2 reefing lines (which type?)
# Boltrope
# Foot slightly raising (5-15deg)
# Telltales
# Crosscut Polyester (weight?)
# Does weave manufacturer matter?

# Jib around 35% of SA (reasonable big, reasonable reef step)
# Same weave?

Anything else that cannot be missing on a modern (?) dinghy rig?
Further hints?
