3493 twin spinnaker polex
21/09/2018 09:09:59 | Hi as stated previously I'm fairly new to Merlin sailing but having a blast! Finally started playing with the spinnaker... But seem to be missing something. I can get the spinnaker flying but there seems to be nothing in the rigging to stop the poles flying upwards i. e. To pull down on them. I have the 2 holes on the foredeck... Any advice or pics would be much appreciated. Martin |
