Spinnaker Halyard through Spar: Smaller offshore boats often mount a cam cleat below the spinnaker halyard exit so crew can jump the halyard and cleat it to the mast when setting the spinnaker. The cam also holds the line should the sail fill prematurely. Pole Launcher: Many racing boats have asymmetrical spinnakers and retractable bowsprits. This system features a launcher line on top of the pole, with strong shockchord on the bottom to automatically retract the pole when the launcher line is uncleated.
