My own gin-pole has a large eyebolt installed in one end, which can be attached by a through-bolt (with a nylon spool cover) into a matching eye at the base of the mast’s leading edge and secured by a large wingnut. Above 10 knots, it’s faster when off by only 5°. without the rigging attached. My “A” from was made from 1″ square aluminum “pipe” with 1/8″ thickness. Our sheaves are made from black ultra violet resistant UHMD plastic. A wing and wing set boosts top speed on a DDW course and prevents the need for speed-sapping gybes.
