I have been lurking for a while on this thread, and I have a few questions regarding retrofitting a spinnaker to my NACRA. Mine is a 5.8NA, and I think the applications are somewhat similar.

First I had noted in some of the photographs that the bridal foil has been raised, I understand why this is done, how much I should look to raise mine. Also will I need to shorten the forestay or the shrouds? If I shorten the forestay, will I need to modify the jib?

As for the pole, I am thinking of going aluminum, anyone want to talk me out of this?

Appreciate any help
