I too was looking at Andy's setup. I don't already have a proper toping lift but a spinnaker halyard made to the jaw seems like it would work. How you attach it depends on your pole's end fitting. If no attachment fitting exists then a lashing of dynema might work well to create a semi-perminent eye. You want to avoid using the jaw so that you can still trip the sheet. Make the halyard and fore-guy first, set the pole hieght. Then use the jaw to make the sheet. Then make the mast.
