gennaker fixing point

[sabeiro]

I would know some good idea about the tack point for the gennaker of a SO40 . The problem is the position of the pulpit and navigation lights. I´m thinking in a small bowspirit but i don´t know how to fix it
thanks

Have a look at a Dehler, they use a fixing system that can use a removable spinnaker pole as a bow spirit.

I simply drilled a hole through the anchor bowspirit and attached a swivel block. Then led a line back to the cockpit and fly the spinnaker above the pulpit. Works like a charm.

thanks for your answer.
Marty, I´m wating for the sun O 45 bowspirit.
Shaggyq, I understand (in my very bad english) that you set the gennaker outside the pulpit, Don´t you have problems when you gybe with the pulpit? and sailing in a close angle with the navigation lights (to broke it)
