Sounds correct. The solution to this problem is to mount a bunji chord in one of two possible configurations.

Configuration A) mount a small eyestrap (if not already) to the front of the mast approximately 12 to 18" up from the base. Tie a 1/8" to 1/4" bunji from this eyestrap forward to the meeting point of the bridle wires and the forestay. It should be taught enough to form a straight line but you want to leave it plenty of room to spring. Your jib sheets should go overtop of this bunji with one on each side. During sailing, the bunji will not interfere with the sail and during tacking, the sheets and sail must go up over the bunji which prevents them from hanging out around the mast base and rotator bar.

Option B you can take a bunji mounted to the front of the front beam at one hull, up through the bottom of the diamond wires, around the front of the mast, back through the other side of the diamond wires, and finishing at the opposite outboard end of the front beam. This forms a triangle and does the same thing by keeping the sheets elevated during tacking and away from the mast base.
