Z-SPAR  Spinnaker Pole Mast Eyes


Mast Eyes, or Spinnaker Pole Eyes (or Rings), are used on the front of the mast to attach a Spinnaker Pole or a Whisker Pole, and/or on the side of the Mast to attach a Whisker Pole or Reaching Strut. In both cases they are placed so as to allow the Pole to fly at 90° to the Mast when attached to the sail.

On the front of the Mast, the use of a moveable Spinnaker Car, rather than a fixed Mast Eye, is preferred as it allows adjustment of the pole's inboard end, necessary for maximum sail efficiency over a range of conditions and with a variety of sails. As they eliminate any adjustment, fixed Mast Eyes are suitable for use with one size sail only (or a furling sail in one position only). For Spinnaker Poles, fixed Mast Eyes dictate the use of an end for end jibing procedure. Note that some One-Design classes allow the use of multiple Mast Eyes.

If your Z-Spar Mast features an integral Spinnaker Car Track extruded or added into the forward side, See: Z-Spar Spinnaker Cars.
