John,

If you move the point where the jib leads first meet the boat outboard,
you will lose some ability to point up (sail into the wind).

Okay; that's about the last thing I want to do!

Without seeing the structure you are dealing with, I am not going to try
to offer a repair method. If the boat is sailed as a class almost
anywhere, then there is probably a class association. Someone there
should be able to provide a good plan to repair.

Nope, it is a "Starwing". Never caught on, or the manufacturer went broke
too fast.
