It was easy with the 6.0 because the bridle foil is out there. I simply mounted a small tang on the foil and epoxied an 'ear' to the ring and put a pin through them. The pole mount stays flexible on one axis and the pin on the bridle in another. The whole thing floats really well - the only potential for damage is if the pole decides to move to one side of the boat or the other. You can see the bridle foil and 'ear' in this attachment (although this is before the tang is attached). The idea is that I can store the spinnaker in the sock and by pulling one pin and one (maybe two) bunjis, the sock and ring will slip off the boat and go in the sail box. I haven't gotten this system up and running yet (been dodging ice storms here lately and now my back is out!) but hope to in the next month or so.
