Spinnaker Halyard

 

¿ªÔÆÌåÓý

I am interested in what you have done to attach a block to the top of the mast for a Spinnaker halyard.? I have used the port Genoa halyard but it makes it difficult to do a take down if on the wrong tack.? I fabricated a piece of SS angle to attach to the top of the mast but didn't install is because the top plate looked a little light weight for such a load.

My mast has two forward facing sheaves. Port side has the genoa halyard on it. I fly the asymmetric spin on the starboard sheave. I dropped it on a starboard tack last week with no problems. Was running pretty deep and the wind had just about died, but no hangups.
Have a photo of the masthead?

Mark,

My asymm spinn set-up is the same as Bob's. If you want to get the block out forward of the headstay, you might want to look into Rig-Rite's spinnaker bails and cranes. They will certainly take any load, since they are purpose built. Link here:



Hope this helps.

Mark,

I just bought an S2 27 and I'm dismayed that there is no bail for the spinnaker. Did you ever find a suitable solution?
