I have purchased an F18 spinnaker and have some questions regarding installation. After reading posts and Wouters manual on the subject I still have some questions.

1. Attaching the halyard block to the mast using a line entering the mast within the curf. Wont the knots inside the curf prevent/hinder the sail bolt rope from going past this point?
2. Attachment hardware for the pole to the cross beam. Anything out there? I am thinking about a U bracket with a pin at the pole and a eyelet or so at the cross beam


Anyone with another P19 that can offer some experienced based insight would be really appreciated. Also looking for any used parts that may be laying around.

Thanks
