In one of the last races of the last season we broke our spinnaker pole. The nipple(?) that couples with the spinnaker’s mast car broke. I managed to remove the end of the pole (I don’t know what these parts are called). Does anyone know where I can get a replacement? You can see a picture of what I mean here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1rwwRxqAeVFh5igTcyIijgqZa8lHkjse8/view?usp=sharing
This is for a 1983 C&C 35 MKIII. By the way The Office did decently well last year. Second place over all on Wednesday Nights, Hee Soo, also on this list earned first place. The race that broke our pole was part of The Last Chance Regatta for HRYRA (Hudson River Yacht Racing Association). We got a 3rd which is not bad. I think we were the only one in our club who finished in the money for division 1. We did pretty well just flying our #2 after the pole broke. Go figure. Well there was a lot of wind. I suspect the breakage just had to do with fatigue after 37 years. It is aluminum after all. I can’t imagine what could have been binding on the cup, if anything. We were in the process of winching in the guy to pull the pole back for a deeper angle. It seems so odd that this broke. Again, if anyone knows where to get a replacement it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
