it's going to be hard for anyone who doesn't have a 460 with spin to help you, but we can try
search for photos of the 460 and other nacras with spins

If you ordered it direct from the US factory, have them help you set it up. Call them, ask for Jack, he will help. End of story. . . .
Where are you located and what is your name?

Miguel,
I put several of these boats together. I can tell you that an owners manual is not going to help you much. Trust me, parts sent don't always fit and might be wrong. Call Jack. You ordered the boat from him. If you can't speak English you have a problem. Miquel, don't write or email, call him . . .

Let me know how it goes. If we have to, I will talk you through it on Skype as a last resort. I hope your English is better than my Spanish.
If you like, send me a plane ticket and I put it together for you. :)

Miguel,
Just want to second what Philip has already told you. Jack has always been very helpful when I've called the factory. He was happy to take as much time as I needed to answer some of my questions.
Call him, if only to arrange some other means of communication. -

YAWN,
O.K. Eric and Miguel and good morning. I looked over the photos and can answer most of these questions. A couple of quick answers.
The pole bridles share the same tang as the forstay bridals. I did not see a spin hound in the provided parts. Is it on the mast? It would be mounted above the stock rigging hound. The picture of the pole with the turning block, it is that end that mounts to the cross beam. It is there for the single line system. I did not see a snuffing bag and hoop. Did you get one? I assume you got a spin with the kit as well as the halyard, tack line and spin sheet, and spin blocks. I will send you guys my email so reply to that.
Again, you should call Jack. Have you called him and if so, is he not returning your calls?

Miguel,
I think your problem is going to be with the forestay bridal system. I need to see what you have.
Is there a reason for not calling Jack?
