Alan,
I would love to see a picture of the rig you mentioned. Which boat is it at
Rose City?
Thank you

One of the members of my yacht club uses his spinnaker pole. He rolls it
out on the anchor roller (the anchor roller has a SS strap to keep the pole
from rising). The aft end of the pole snaps onto a padeye mounted on the
deck. Location of the padeye is determined by how far out you want the pole
to go.

No anchor roller?  It's not a perfect sprit but many of us use it.  Another
option is to use the plastic cup hook from ATN.  I think that is the only
best option if your tack attachment has to go aft of the headstay/furler.

https://www.atninc.com/atn-tacker-sailing-equipment.shtml

The very best bet is to get the tack way out in front.  With a narrow slot
between the head stay and spin luff you'll have only the option to jibe
outside.  I think it is easier to do inside jibes if you have a large
enough slot.

As for reusing stem fasteners (if you accept a narrow slot and forego an
anchor roller or bow sprit).  I like the idea.  Make sure that they are
already large enough diameter.  I'm thinking 3/8ths.  When you buy the
eyebolt make sure that it is a shoulder eye.

Stus-List installation of tack fitting for cruising kite / assym

[Bailey White via CnC-List]

I am working to install a fitting on the bow in front of the headstay for a
tack line for a kite on my C&C 36.  Wanted to get recommendations from the
group.  I see two options:

1) install a padeye where two bolts from the stainless stem connect to the
bow casting.  The area is small to work as it is inside a recessed area and
the load would be at angle.
2) drill through the casting and install a long bolt / shaft to attach tack
fittings.  This may be easier to install but would let the tack fitting
shift side to side along the shaft unless I lash it to one side.

Welcome advice and input.
