Great shots and a nice looking setup. Do you find the clam cleats adequate or should folks consider cam cleats? I've never been a fan of clam cleats, but like to look of your setup.

I do the dip pole too. I dont know why the wire is there, it is a good way to hold the topper out of the way with the shock cord but taking up the slack on the topper gives the same result.

I'd be glad to photograph my spinnaker configuration and let you know how I solve the foreguy issue. I currently have two clamp on eyes located at the base of the aft pulpit stanchions which I'm planning on using as an attachment point for appropriately sized blocks/shackles. In addition, one more block/shackle will be used for attachment to the pole end. This set-up will allow me to route the fore-guy control line down both sides of the deck to a yet to be... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Kirk Leavy) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/6486 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 12:36:06 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/6479/t/Spinnaker-Pole-Bridles.html#reply-6479 feeds@yuku.com (svzephyr44) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/6479 Fri, 16 Nov 2007 06:13:23 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/6478/t/Spinnaker-Pole-Bridles.html#reply-6478

On Chimera the topper is attached to the outer end of the pole via a wire cable and ring. This cable is the length of the pole and is held close to the pole when not in use by some shock cord that pulls is back into the inward end of the pole when there is no pressure on it. The shock cord runs internally down the length of the pole, exiting at the inward end through a pully and is attached to the ring, if that makes sense.
The downhaul is also attached to the outer... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (comitti) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/6472 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 14:38:55 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/6466/t/Spinnaker-Pole-Bridles.html#reply-6466
I do not have a spinnaker on our C-42, but I am quite familiar with spinnaker rigging on similar boats. Since no one else has responded I will make a couple of comments.

* A two-piece pole is generally not recommended for full symmetrical spinnaker use. The forces can be quite large, especially compressive forces. If you are racing, the rules will generally require that the pole is no longer than the "J" of the boat in any case.

* The plastic... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (yorkrose) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/6466 Thu, 15 Nov 2007 08:19:51 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/6460/t/Spinnaker-Pole-Bridles.html#reply-6460
