Hi, I don't post a lot but i've been following this list for over 10 years now.
I need your help today, especcially looking for experience bowman feedback and advice. I'm in the market for a spinnaker pole for ou 33-2 and i have to choose between "standard" end fittings, like the UXP Forespar or Selden and the UTR from Forespar or what we could call a "trigger" fitting. My experience is more with asymetrical kites so i dont really have an opinion on one versus the other. we usually sail short handed and club race with a small crew, the UTR fitting seems nice and modern but is there any downside ? like is there a risk i will need to fight with it if it doesn't want to trigger on the sheet\guy in very light air when there is not a lot of tension on the ropes? Are those trigger fittings really a plus or should i go classic? My only spinnaker is a light-medium air A2. i have a ring car on the mast. My plan is to go with end for end gybing. Thank you for your knowledge on that subject. Bruno Lachance Bécassine, 33-2 #166 New-Richmond, Qc
