Genneker pole

[Johnty32]

I have purchased an asymmetric spinnaker for my boat, it is a 1550sqft sail for a Najad 520.
I feel that due to the large projecting pulpit I will need too fit a bow sprit type pole , has anyone any advise on specs, suppliers etc
Thanks John

I fly my 2,000 sq ft using an ATN tacker without problems.

I don't think a sprit installation is feasible on a Najad 520, not the way the coamings sit up. But experimenting with a tack strap is certainly a good idea. They tend to get in the way while jibing, but can be the ticket on a long deep reach.
