We use the same method as Dennis. Its the same as I remember from J24 sailing, except, more recently J24s have removed the bridle and now clip the topping lift on when setting the pole. The problem with our method is that the pole jaws are almost too small to hold both the shroud and the topping lift line. I plan on eventually changing the jaws to the larger Forespar fittings. The trigger type are really nice.
#359's track ends as described above by Alan Johnstone, just below the boom gooseneck.
