Thanks, Steph. I'll check with Boatcraft here in Edmonton first: Don has been pretty good about giving free advice, so I probably owe him some business.

: Annapolis Performance Sail has the

: their "bother", near

: Take a look at this website:
:
: Fireball Rigging
:
: The halyard and bungee don't
: actually connect to each other.
:
: Before you go this route, I'd
: recommend that you source a
: Northfix Pump Cleat . There is a
: good chance that you will have to
: order one from the UK.
:
: If you can't get one, I'd recommend
: going with a simple system with no
: take-up or a reverse purchase.

: This spring I hope to set up the
: spinnaker on my old woodie. I have
: the sail, a double-ended pole, but
: no other fittings.
:
: I have reviewed the Draycote site,
: which I find confusing. I have
: access to experts in the local club,
: fortunately. But I have one question
: while the snow is still on the
: ground.
:
: How does one attach the halyard to
: the bungee take-up cord depicted on
: the various web sites? I'm guessing
: a big knot would NOT go through the
: various blocks, so it must be some
: sort of splice.
:
: Can anyone give me some advice?
:
: Thanks.
