There is a discussion about spinnaker poles in another thread at at this link where Michael Lusty found in the 2004 rules the requirement for a bridle was added. In 2005 when the class rules were updated to allow carbon poles, the bridal requirement disappeared. Bob Rutsch commented that he did not know if this was intentional, or an inadvertent omission when the rules updates were made. Here are the applicable paragraphs from the 2004 and 2005 rules: 2004 Rules5.11 Spinnaker Pole .1 Material shall be of aluminum alloy extrusion and supplied only through a builder approved by the J/30 Class Association. .2 Length from tip to tip of the pole shall not exceed 3810 mm nor when attached to the fitting at the mast, extend more than 3842 mm from the face of the mast. .3 Bridle is required and the material is not restricted..4 Spinnaker pole end fittings can be of composite material such as the Forespar "ultra" series. A trigger mechanisms for holding the jaws open is not permitted.2005 Rules & as currently worded in 2009 Rules5.11 Spinnaker Pole .1 Material shall be of either aluminum alloy extrusion or carbon fiber. The diameter of the an aluminum spinnaker pole shall not be less than 2 7/8 inches and a carbon fiber spinnaker pole shall have a uniform diameter through out of not be less than 2 1/2 inches..2 Length from tip to tip of the pole shall not exceed 3810 mm nor when attached to the fitting at the mast, extend more than 3842 mm from the face of the mast. .3 Spinnaker pole end fittings can be of composite material such as the Forespar "ultra" series. A trigger mechanisms for holding the jaws open is not permitted. Would the class measurer please investigate this and report back here? If it was removed intentionally, then the case is closed. If it was inadvertently dropped during the 2005 rules update, we should restore the rule as intended during the next time the rules are updated.

I bought a pole without a bridal - I checked the rules and noticed it was gone so I figured we had dropped it.

You will snap your pole quickly. Surely not made for use like that.
Normal load in column versus the point load...
To bypass bridles, connect the topping lift & downhaul shackles to the outboard pole ends, same place as the end of the bridles were connected. Once you get rid of your bridles you must dip jibe as you cannot end for end jibe without the bridles. I think the bridles, end for end jibes and single sheets are a total system very well suited to the J/30.

I concur with 311. The load applied by the foreguy attached at the center is likely to bend an aluminum pole. As noted in Carbon pole sizing I'd setup like Rhapsody with a bridle especially in breeze.

My carbon pole has the d rings in the middle with no issue and we have had the chute up in 25+ with no flex. I highly doubt Forte would build a pole like this if it would not hold up. The pole is only 6 1/2 feet from the center - that would have to be a hell of a lot of load to snap off - particularly with the guy twinged down really hard.
The D rings are MUCH easier to handle and the pole will stand up to anything we sail in week in and week out. I would never messing up that sexy carbon with an old school bridal (-:
