I have a 14' pole and I cut a slot in the end, and rest the slot on the dolphin striker. Stops the pole from rotating.
The other end of the pole I just tied under the foil. The foil is a great place to attach it..
I also drilled holes in my bowes and attached line from there to the end of the pole, and put some prebend in it. I didn't feel that attaching to the bridle attachment points on the hull gave me the right angle to keep the pole down.
The blocks I have on my front beam...The angle seems right. I tried them on the shroud and it was wrong. I haven't had a chance to get you pics yet..this weekend though..
