Spinnaker Pole Cars and Mast Rings

Mast attachment is critical to insure that the spinnaker pole can move in the necessary direction without binding under the compression loads. Mast fittings are available in two basic styles, fixed eye or sliding car. Since each style of end fitting may have a specific mast fitting requirement, attention to detail is very important.

Fixed Eye mast fittings are typically used on boats under 25'. For these applications, Forespar provides mast pad eyes in three basic sizes. The important thing to know is to match the pad eye to the pole end fitting. All fixed eye pads should be installed on the forward center face of the mast at a height that allows the pole to fly level. You must determine the elevation of your headsail's clew and mount the mast eye at that height on the mast.

Sliding Car mast fittings are available in three styles and are designed for larger boats (over 25' ) that require a stronger attachment while allowing the spinnaker pole to be positioned level to the clew. This attachment method is also much stronger than a fixed eye as the track spreads the load over a greater area. The car style is dictated by the style of end fitting on the pole and whether or not you are going to store the pole up the mast.
