Forespar Banana Sprit Cruising Chute Pole

The Banana Sprit comes in two sizes, one for boats up to 40 feet and another for boats up to 50 feet in length.

Both models of the Banana Sprit TM are designed to fit into the existing bow roller/channel on a sailboat. If there is no existing channel, the proper channel can be purchased from Forespar.

The system utilizes a pin through the side plates of the channel and the Banana Sprit to hole it in place. In addition, there is a stainless steel plate with a quick disconnect permanently affixed to the foredeck. To quickly remove the sprit from the boat, simply pull the plunge pin in the bow roller and then unscrew the fly nut on the deck to remove the unit from the deck.

Each Banana sprit has a stainless steel ubolt on the top where a block is attached and one on the bottom for the attachment of a bobstay. Each Banana sprit must be installed with a bobstay to offset the uploading on the sprit.

Each unit can be shortened as necessary to fit over an anchor well, or other obstruction as needed. Simply cut off the inboard end of the tube to the desired length. Use of a code zero or the absence of a bobstay voids the warranty. Each model is anodized aluminum with structural reinforcement inside the tubing.
