If anyone has placement measurements for a spinnaker pole track, I would appreciate you sharing.

Although I have a tall rig, even standard rig numbers would give me a starting point. Tall rig numbers would be great.

Never had a spinnaker on my TR, but I would guess using a 4' track and start it 1', maybe 1.5 ' below the normal boom position.

I would think the height would be dependent on the cut and size of your spinnaker. A spinnaker pole, when deployed, should be horizontal with the deck. Since one end is secured to the sail the other end should be set to achieve that horizontal alignment.

Yeah, Catalina calls for a 4' 6" track but no mention about positioning. Schaefer makes a 4' track with a pull pin car. I can't get motivated about installing lines to move the car.
