Reply to: 21SE spinnaker pole "gudgeon mount"

Message body

[quote=aprosser]I've prepping my 21SE for flying the spinaker that came with it, but I have some doubts about the setup. I've got a lot of line ordered, so if I need to make any changes, now is the time!

The boat came witha trentec pole that appears to have been modified to mount on the striker rod without the "lower gudgeon" on the front crossbar.

While it seems unlikely that I can find the original parts, could anyone recommend a alternative mounting solution? I'm trying to figure this thing out, so any insights as to what's best adapted from other boats I would love to hear about it. Lots of pics attached for the sake of conversation...

I see the line routing in the original hobie kit, but I instead have a separate halyard, a tack line that feeds through the pole and exits out the tip, and a loop of guy lines terminate in the same tip the tack exits from.

If there is a better routing, I'd love to learn from someone else's experience instead of the trial and error method!

Here's a link to my more pics:
