I'm in the process of getting a new genoa from Precision Sails in Victoria BC. So far I'm very pleased with them. From the research I've done, most people seem to be pretty happy with the product.

If you are comfortable manufacturing a harness from scratch, when that time comes I can provide a list of everything you need and some sources.

Keel : From what I've seen, the factory usually installed a 160F thermostat in the engine. However, a PO could have changed it to a 180F !?! The temp is stamped on the thermostat !!
On your belt, make sure that the inside of the pulleys are free of oil/grease. Just take a rag with some lacquer thinner and wipe the inside of the pulleys to clean them. When you tighten the belt just make sure that you can't turn the belt (with you fingers) no more than 180 degrees.
The belt should should have notches on the top side for heat transfer; you don't want a smooth toped belt!
