Spinnaker Pole Assembly 

 
Fix a simple pulley # 348 at one end of the 
control rope of the spinnaker pole. The other
end is passed through the pulley located at the 
front of the boat (A) , then fixed on the pad-eye 
at the back of the spinnaker pole.

 

 

 
 

Spinnaker bag 

 
 

The spinnaker bag has to be slipped inside the 
mouth of snuffer with the string holding the 
elastic placed into the guiding rail. 
The lower part is fitted with some Velcro strap 
and  has to be  located onto the Velcro band
taped on the cockpit. 
 
Each end of the elastic is then passed in the 
fairlead ring then up through the loop and ends 
in two half hitch knots after having acquired the 
right tension.  
 
The back end of the snuffer bag is fixed on the 
eye-pad at the end of the starboard jib rail by a 
piece of elastic.  
 
On boats recently delivered , the spinnaker bag 
lyes onto the cockpit out of the roof.  
 
 
 
The bag must be stretched so that the snuffer 
functions well.
