As some of you know I am currently working on rigging my 5.2 with a spinnaker. I have been give two pieces of advice on how to attach the base to the front cross bar.
One option is to use a slot in the pole and go around the dolphin striker then use some small piece of line to hold it up against the cross bar.
The second idea is to make a metal plate with a small metal pole sticking off it that can be inserted into the spin pole. This is how many of the production spin boats attach theirs.
What I need to know is how much danger is there in the dolphin striker route and what you all think.
