I am looking for instructions to setup a spinnaker on my Wave. I have the sail and pole (just ordered end cap that attaches to front crossbar). I am having a challenge on where the bungy from the pole attaches to. I am getting killed on down wind runs from mcscows and monos flying their spinnakers at my sailing club. Pics would be appreciated to

Shock cord hooks to the bridle shackle. This pulls the pole up. Pole bridles hold it down.

So with Matt’s help, I got the spinnaker pole installed. Now, does anyone know the length of the spinnaker sheet that runs continuously around the wave? 9 ft for tack line, 45 ft for spinnaker halyard, but missing length of spinnaker sheets. Thanks to all and Matt, thank you for 10 yrs I have had with your guidance and knowledge.

The correct spinnaker sheet length for the Wave is 38ft of 6mm or 1/4in line.
