Default RC Imoca 60 sail winch set up

Hi, I am in the process of building an RC Imoca 60 with a furling gennaker. I am struggling to work out the gennaker sheeting and how to set it up. I have heard of people using single or two winches (I have 2 available) so am hoping someone may be able to help with plans or photos for sheeting and furling?
Really appreciate any assistance.
Thanks, Dave

I have seen a genoa on a Seawind in Youtube videos, recently.

I am actually looking for winch and sheet set up for a furling gennaker. The furler is easy enough, but not so sure about the sheeting to allow for length of sheets required as well as the need to allow for partially or completely allowing for furling or unfurling.

Trial and error works best.
