Reply to: Adding a Spinnaker Need suggestions

[quote=nacraflyer]I just picked up a nice unused spinnaker on this site and want to use in on one or more of my Nacra's. I currently have a 5.2 and 5.7 that are active. Considering the SNU snuffer system, but I have no clue about pole size and what all is needed to rig it up. I do have some new tapered fiberglass windsurfing masts that are about 2.1" OD at one end and about 1.5" OD at the other, with a length of 15 feet that came with my last 5.2 purchase. Can these be used as a spinnaker pole? The spinnaker has dimensions as follows: Luff = 290" Leach = 248.5" if pulled straight but is most likely longer if the curve is factored in. Foot = 134.5" It does not have any patches yet, so I assume I'll have to have a sail company add some. What length, diameter and wall tube is required? Does the tube handle much stress or is it mainly just to hang the snuffer on and run lines out? I assume that I need to drill holes through the bows to put an attachment point for some wire rigging that would go to the end of the pole. Does anyone have a good rigging diagram and photos available?[/quote]
