To attach the spinnaker pole to the forestay take the stainless striker and screw it to the
thread on the bottom of the forestay and put a couple of turns on, this will work as a
bottle screw so it will tighten up from both top and bottom as you screw it up
•
Keep screwing until you are happy with the mast rake
•
Take the second (loose) carbon striker and place it over the long threaded rod coming
out of the bottom of the main beam (3)
•
Split the wire behind the carbon striker and shackle the starboard end to the starboard
plate under the rear beam (this is under the trampoline) (5)
•
Then lash the port end through the pull on the port side and tighten up accordingly to
how much rig and pole tension is required (4)
•
Noted it is very important to have a solid amount of tension on this as its the
only thing supporting the main beam, it is not advisable to go sailing with loose
striker tension. We suggest a minimal reading of 17 on the loos gage.
