:: After all this time, I finally broke my spinnaker pole.
:: Does anyone have any recommendations on a new one?

Hi Hal, Glad to see you've survived all the hurricanes! I have a Forespar pole with Spectra or some other high tech rope bridle and jaws that can be jammed onto the ring on the mast. That is, you don't have to pull a string to open the jaws. Seems to work pretty well.
