Running lines aft

I am finding myself single handing my C16 more often.  Creaky knees, old age and expanding waistline makes nimbly moving to the front to raise/lower jib and Main sail while in the middle of the lake stressful so I am considering running lines aft.  Can someone show pictures of their setup on a C16? Can i do it without a jib furler?  Lazy Jacks?  Best practices, etc.  Pictures would be awesome.

Just trying to get an idea of cost and how easy/hard this is as a DIY project.

I have some pix of the lazy jacks , halyards and jib downhaul. these mods will keep you in control from the cockpit.
The pix are too large for our posting system.
If you send me a PM, I will forward the pictures.
$UM FUN TOO
