| Author: Ralph Deeds Subject: Spinnaker pole track improvements? Info: (12310 views) Posted: Saturday 6-12-04 09:27:00 AM |
The biggest improvements for the spinnaker pole were (1) moving the foreguy block from the middle of the deck to the base of the mast; (2) double-ending the foreguy and leading it to the deck where it can be operated by the bow man or from the cock pit; (3) leading the topping lift to a point on the deck where it can be reached by the bow man or operated from the cockpit; and (3) buying a Quantum (San Francisco) pole launching sleeve that allows the pole to be stored on and launched from the boom (no more pole on top of the jib sheet problems from inexperienced bow men). The pole launcher is a great improvement!
