1. (only in case of adaptation on a standard pole)
Remove the center pole support wires from the spinna-
ker pole. Do this by either cutting the wire or drilling the
head off the rivet, which fixes the pad-eye.
(seulement dans le cas d'adaptation sur un tangon stan-
dard) Retirer les câbles de support placés au centre du tan-
gon. Pour cela, vous pouvez soit couper les câbles ou faire
sauter la tête du rivet qui fixe le pontet en perçant dedans.
2.
Slide on to the spinnaker pole from the front cross beam
end the composite retriever tube. The groves cut in the
moulding simply groove around the fittings on the pole.
Disregard the rivets holding the end caps on. The moul-
ding will pass over these rivets with ease. At this stage,
it is necessary to mount the pole on the boat before
fixing the retriever tube onto the pole.
Insérer le tube trompette sur le tangon, le glisser en remon-
tant de la traverse avant vers l'extrémité du tangon. Le man-
chon s'adapte autour du tangon et passe aisément au des-
sus des rivets. A ce stade il est nécessaire de monter le tan-
gon sur le bateau avant de fixer le tube avaleur.
3.
Attach to the center pole support pad-eye the 2 pieces of
spectra supplied. This Spectra replaces the wires as the
new center supports.
Attacher au pontet se trouvant au milieu du tangon les deux
bouts Spectra fournis. Ces deux bouts Spectra remplacent
les câbles de support centraux.
4.
Mount the spinnaker pole on the boat as normal, by
using the wires and attachment fittings. Ensure you have
tensioned the rig before tensioning the spinnaker pole.
Tension the pole in the centre vertically and diagonally
as per normal except using the Spectra rope instead of the wire originally supplied. (The Spectra
is stronger, lighter, and a lot friendlier to the top of the retriever tube.) Ensure that there is some
prebend in the pole. Adequate prebend should be when all the play in retriever mounts is taken
up. (They have been made deliberately oversize to allow for pre-bending the spinnaker pole).
Caution: Over bending will cause the retriever tube to buckle and possibly fracture.
Monter le tangon de spi comme d'habitude en utilisant tous les câbles et soutiens fournis. S'assurer
que le gréement est tendu avant de tendre le tangon de spi. Tendre les attaches du tangon verticale-
ment et en diagonale comme à l'accoutumée mais en utilisant les Spectra au lieu des câbles fournis à
l'origine (le Spectra est plus résistant, plus léger et passe plus facilement à l'embouchure du tube). Le
tangon doit être cintré. Pour un cintrage parfait, il ne doit plus y avoir de jeu dans les cordages (ceux-ci
ont été volontairement surdimensionnés afin de permettre ce cintrage). Attention : ne pas tendre exa-
gérément, risque de fracture.

Summary of Contents for Hobie Spinnaker Snuffer

  • Page 1 Composite Retriever Assembly Manual 1. (only in case of adaptation on a standard pole) Remove the center pole support wires from the spinna- ker pole. Do this by either cutting the wire or drilling the head off the rivet, which fixes the pad-eye. (seulement dans le cas d’adaptation sur un tangon stan- dard) Retirer les câbles de support placés au centre du tan- gon.
  • Page 2 Once both of the supports are on the pole rotate the tube so it sits on the left side. To fix in position you will find 2 self-tapping screws. Use these to fix the retriever tube onto the spinnaker pole. The top of the tube should fit directly under the center pole support bridles (the Spectra ropes).
  • Page 3 Chaque trou doit avoir une dimension minimum de 25 mm. Threading the halyard/retriever line . Once you have threaded the tack and halyard lines (as per standard Hobie Cat system) take the dead end of the halyard (which comes through the spinnaker halyard cleat) and pass it through the trampoline mounted pulley in an aft to for- ward direction.
  • Page 4 Attaching the spinnaker. Firstly tie the corners of the spinna- ker to their respective lines. (ie head-halyard, tack-tack line, clew-sheets.) Then take the retriever line and pass it from the tube in front of the spinnaker sheets through the three spin- naker patches.
