Extendable carbon fibre gennaker bowsprit. Just fit the two stainless steel pad eyes to the deck in line with the suitable bow bracket (see here).

After the gennaker is doused, the bowsprit can slide back and be secured to the aft eye. If required, it can be quickly removed and stowed securely below.

The gennaker tack-line (not included) runs through the bowsprit, entering and leaving via well rounded holes, and then aft to the cockpit. An alternative is to fit an external tack block at the outboard end.
