If you notice on one of the photos there is a little black cylindrical fitting of delrin in the middle of the front beam in front of the mast base! thats the supporting base for the carbon spinnaker pole (which is standard -thats why it is an F14!!). There wasn't any wind whatsoever on Saturday the 27th of November (when the shots were taken) so not only did we not sail but it seemed a little premature to rig up the spinnaker?
