Hey, don't laugh. I still have a Blooper, a reacher, a drifter, a
spanker, a staysail, a banana staysail and a few others that I may have
forgotten. Our Redwing 35 was originally purchased to compete in the
Chicago-Mackinaw race in 1971. The Spinnaker pole was a tree trunk, the
reaching strut breaks down into three pieces. There were three #1's,
two #2's, a #3, a 1/2 oz spinnaker and a 3/4 oz spinnaker. Most are
still hanging from hooks in the barn. We still use the drifter and I
gifted the 1/2 oz spinnaker to Glenn Gambel on the list for his C&C 36.

Charles,
The track would be for a staysail and the pole foreguy (downhaul),
they may have been attached to the same car but usually each had their
own car on the track.
Since your spinnaker pole only has one bridle they probably did dip
pole gybes instead of end for end.
If your boat came with bags of old sails one is probably marked
Staysail, Tallboy, Spinnaker Staysail or Lowboy, they were popular in
the ‘70s.
The main rule with a staysail is you gain a knot when you put it up
and you gain a knot when you take it down. J
Who knows, you may even have a Blooper too.

Gary;
My 30 is from 1973 and was raced extensively for its first ten years.
Most of the fittings and lines I recognize, but, I have a track with a
car running down the foredeck. The spinnaker poll has only one bridle
for the uphaul. Not sure what that track helped control. I mostly solo
sail with guest that wish I had a power boat so their drinks wouldn't
spill. I don't think i'll miss it but was interested in it's function.
