Spinnaker Systems
SPINNAKER #1
Asymmetrical spinnaker system that launches telescopic pole, draws the tack to the end of the pole, and pulls the halyard up, all from a single line. Popular on most modern skiff classes, the endless line also acts as a retriever when dropping the spinnaker.
SPINNAKER #2
Spinnaker pole car system for keel boats up to 10m (33ft) in length. 3:1 raise and lower purchase on recirculating ball bearing traveller car makes dip pole gybing a breeze. High load blocks utilised on lower purchase system to counter higher loads encountered with pole skying.
*Systems depicted on this website and their application to certain types and sizes of craft are SUGGESTED only.
