Whisker Pole Launching System
The Snipe uses a retractable boom-launched whisker pole. The crew deploys the pole with an automatic
cleating system led through two 29 mm Carbo stand-up blocks. Two 29 mm Ti-Lite Carbo blocks hold up the whisker pole line
The Carbo Ratchamatic®
Use this revolutionary load-sensing ratchet as a secondary mainsheet ratchet to give the skipper extra holding power upwind.
As the load decreases around the weather mark, the ratchet automatically turns off for a smooth release.
