Reply to: 2001 Nacra Inter 20 Restoration - Side Hoop Spinnaker Pole and Hoop Upgrade

[quote=traphappy]I built my I20 spin pole from bare alluminum four years ago. I sail in the ocean and it has not reacted noticeably. Snuffer sock should end about three inches before dolphin striker bar. You may be able to buy the nylon fitting from Murrays. It is a standard part. Pole diameter should be smaller than bracket diameter. Mine is. Tension from pole stays induces prebend into the pole and keeps it from moving around in the bracket. Bracket needs to be larger than pole so pole can slide in (pole has jam cleat on rear end to set jib car traveler range on self-tacker). Retrieval line runs from top patch of spin, through other patches, into hoop, out through ring at rear of snuffer bag, through grommet in tramp (about two feet behind mast; runs from under tramp to above tramp), to turning ring on bungee at rear of tramp (various ways to set up bungee takeup), then to cleat (often spinlock) on forward beam, through turning block, and finally up mast, turning block, and to spin head. A neat thing is if you don't use a separate tack line you can run the setup without a bungee.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by traphappy on Jan 04, 2021 - 12:08 AM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
