Bavaria 39, 42, 46 Cruiser Spinnaker/Gennaker sheets blocks

[haydude]

Please, could anyone advise where to rig the spinnaker/gennaker sheets aft blocks on a Bavaria Cruiser? These boats do not have D rings, nor they have any mark on deck where a D ring could be installed.

Also where is the spinnaker pole down sheet rigged on the foredeck?

Thank you

Anyone with a Bav Cruiser who may help?

I've not fitted them myself yet - but others have just fitted U bolts to the side tanks with a backing pad underneath ...

Thanks, I thought that would be an option. BTW by side tanks you mean the cockpit seat lockers?

on the flat bit between the sides and the toerail ... but then I've got a shorter boat ...

I fitted Wichard Ubolts for jackstays on the side decks in front of the cleats. Access through the lockers. Big ply backing pad.

Do Bavs have an ally toe rail? If so Wichard make a bolt on pad eye fits thet toerails - two sorts http://www.wichard.com/documents/stainlessSteel.pdf Both for Symmetric and Assymetric toerails

Bavarias have a variety of toerails - some wooden, some alloy. Depends on age and model what wa fitted.

I have a 38 and we use the centre of the aft cleats for the cruising chute sheets. They're far enough back to be in the right place for the chute and the winch easily overcomes any friction. The layout of the aft end of the deck is such that there's really no room to fit pulleys there anyway.
