19. SpinnakerPole and Pole Trolley(Race boat only).First, attachthe shock cord with ball retainer
to the eye strapat the forward end of the boom. Second,attachthe swivelbullet blockto the eye strap on
the end of the spinnakerpole. Locate the trolley shock cord from the line bag and thread one end through
the swivelbulletblock on the pole. Clip the pole end oppositethe swivel blockonto the shock cord
retainer. Tie one end of the shock cord to the eyestraplocatedon the top of the boom one foot from the
back end. Pull the other end of the shock cord forward,around the mast (outsidethe diamondwires)and
back to the eye strap. Pass one end throughthe eye strapand tie the two ends together. The resultis a
continuousloop of shock cord that the swivelbullet block on the spinnakerpole can travel on down either
side of the mast and boom. To completethe spinnakerpole installationtie one
end of the spinnakerpole topping lift to the eyestrapat the frontend of the pole
and pass the other end throughthe cleat at the base of the frontof the mast.

lower mast and leads down to the lance cleat on the back of the mast. See above
figure. Torig the spinnakerhalyardfor use thread the end of the halyardthat
exits the base of the mast throughthe lance cleat and down to the bulletblock
mountedon the forward end of the cockpit.Then take the end of the halyardand
feed it into the aft end of the spinnakerlaunchtube until you can pull it out on to
the foredeck. The result is both ends of the spinnakerhalyardare on the foredeck
for attachmentto the spinnaker.
