One of the members of my yacht club uses his spinnaker pole. He rolls it out on the anchor roller (the anchor roller has a SS strap to keep the pole from rising). The aft end of the pole snaps onto a padeye mounted on the deck. Location of the padeye is determined by how far out you want the pole to go.
