Ben sets the preventer on the main and uses the spinnaker pole on the genoa to allow both sails full access to the wind. Just before we left Saint Pierre, Ben restored the spinnaker pole by cutting two inches of the end to access the frozen parts. He reattached it and now it works as good as new. We never would have crossed in 15 days without the spinnaker pole. It allowed us to make 10 knots!
