With the 30 inch long piece of 3mm spyder line tie a lose loop from the forward
eyelet to suspend the spin pole from the bridal assembly. At this point the pole
should be 6-8” below the bridal junction.
Tie each end of the spin pole bridal lines to the bow of each hull. Ensure the pole is
centered between the hulls. Using the center tension line, tighten the line to provide
a prebend in the spin pole of 2-4”.
There should be enough prebend in the spin pole such that the pole will not bend
upwards while sailing under spinnaker. When the sail is full and properly sheeted
under load, the pole should be straight or still slightly bowed down.
See appendix for the installation instructions for the SNU snuffer system.
The bungee located at the aft end of ther SNU sock will connect to the spin bag tie
line installed under the tramp earlier. Once the bag is connected, adjust the tie line
so there is some slight tension pulling the bag aft and it will not easily move forward
as the spin tack line is pulled.
Warning: Failure to rig the spin bridal before sailing or before raising the
spinnaker will result in breaking the spin pole. The spin pole is not
supported for downward forces. Do not lean or pull down on the spin pole
tip.
