1996 Hunter 29.5 Integral Spinnaker Tracks

[Whiskerpole]

There appears to be an integral spinnaker track built into the mast of the Hunter 29.5.
Is anyone able to tell me the mast manufacture and if spinnaker cars are available for this mast?

I have the same question for my 1992 33.5.

 

[timangiel]

I think the manufacturer is Selden

 

[chuckwayne]

my '96 29.5 had a Selden mast, but the optional factory spinnaker was an assymetrical, so no pole and just a fixed ring on the mast for halyard storage

 

[timangiel]

My 94 has an assym too, I don't have a pole. The ring on my mast is on a car that is moveable up and down, I only use it for Halyard storage, but I suppose it could be used for a spinnaker pole

And now a word from the sponsor...

Hunter replacement stanchions

From current Marlow-Hunter boats to the classic cherubinis of the 80s, we have most stanchions and bases available, many of them in stock for quick shipment.
See the product

I looked at mine again and it seems to be a Z Spar, some of their cars are still available

 

[Dave Groshong]

US Spars does have a lot of the old cars still available.
