Forespar® has just introduced the newest design change in our lightweight “Ultra” spinnaker pole

end fittings for 3” & 3 ½” spinnaker pole ends.

This new design allows the bow man to activate

the pole end AT THE END OF THE FITTING

should a trip line fail or if used on poles without

full length trips (whisker poles). The S/S “ball”

shown in the photo shows the anti-rotational pin

that now protrudes to allow activation of the

trigger at the ends.

This is done with a slot which allows the piston

pin to travel. In addition, the piston spring is

longer so it now has more closing force.
