[quote=MN3][quote]Sorry to bug....
Is the spinnaker head only supported by the bail? Or is there a leader line run above it. I ask after seeing this post at catsailor:[/quote]
not bugging me at all - fire away
I have both setups
on the 5.5 i had a spin tang. I thought it was way too high so i drilled the holes, added the dyneema (dingy control line with a jacket to reduce chafe) and ran a "line run up the mast" to the tang as shown above
on the 6.0 he previous owner) simply drilled the holes and ran a line. the halyard block top simply rides the bail sans a "line run up the mast" - both seem fine - the 6.0 does suffer worse chafe
at about $.50 worth of 2mm (maybe 3mm) dyneema per mast ... having to change this out every few seasons isn't a big deal (but keep an eye on it for sure . - it's gonna chafe when your spin is full and you are gybing a bunch)[/quote]
