Tod,
 
Yes, both sheets lead to turning blocks.  The spinnaker pole has two  wire 
bridles attached.  The spinnaker topping lift is connected to one and  a 
downhaul is connected to the other. The combination helps control the  pole.  
The 
topping lift is used to increase the height of the pole -  as far as is 
possible 
with the one end of the pole attached to a fixed ring on  the mast.  The 
downhaul keeps tension on the pole and helps keep it and the  spinnaker from 
flying 
too high.
 
I'll try to get some pics of the rig this weekend.
