I’m in the process of fine tuning a homemade twin spinnaker pole system similar to the ‘Ezi self launching pole system’. These systems have been around for many years and have been developed among some dinghy racing fleets. I have rigged one on my 20 foot trailer sailor that I race a little bit. It’s just a bit of fun really. Although it really helps fly my symmetric spinnaker and makes jibing super efficient. It also helps to fly the spinnaker throughout the jibe.
