My pole was very high when i used a F18 spin.. i had to lower it alot when i got the Tornado spin to get luff tension on the bigger sail. PS my spin bridal is a cable with line on the ends for adjusting pre-bend / position

Is a "spinnaker bail" the same thing as a tang (more or less)? If so... the picture below (from when i first rigged the f18 spin) shows where the tang is... i have lowered the halyard block by 8" as it made me nervous being so high.... i drilled holes in my mainsail track and ran a line in front of my mast for the block to swivel on and ran a line up to the tang.
