Topic : Pole Ends

Could anyone point me in the right direction for the correct outer spinaker pole ends?

I've been having problems snodging up my snodger, I think its my ends! - a well recognised medical problem!

The pole's are 22mm int dia, and looking at other poles there could be a standard part no. in a catalogue some where?

Thanking you in advance.

Try Tony at sailsport, he sold me some plain bushes to put in the pole end, before adding the 'through deck, SS lined, bushes"...something like that anyway.

Mags is correct - what you want are through deck bushes with stainless steel insert - the larger ones come out at just the right external diameter to fit your tube so that you can simply expoxy them into the end of your carbon pole.

While doing this remember that the length of the spin pole is measured including the ring that the guy passes through.  If you change the ring to a larger diameter one, you could end up with an over length pole.. and you wouldn't want that, would you....
