Install the aluminum spin pole.  The 

aft end will slide over a bracket 

mounted to the front edge of the 

front cross just below the mast step.  

Pin the pole with the 2” rigging pin 

provided at the front cross bar, and 

then slide the saddle, mounted just 

aft of the spin hoop on the spin 

pole, into the bottom of the pelican 

striker tube assembly.  This will 

then be pinned in place with the 2 

stage halyard shackle.  Ensure the 

halyard shackle faces aft when 

complete and has the 30mm blocks 

for the jib sheet attached. 

Locate the 3mm lines labeled false 

bridal.  Tie each to the spin pole at the 

pelican striker attachment point.  Tie 

the ends to the bridal tang at each hull.  

Tie tightly as this will support the jib 

under sail.
