I have cropped into the shot of the pole on the mast.  it should give an idea of the 2 bales.  Maybe best viewed on a computer for detail. So far I have just used the sheets for control, but may add a downhaul. In the shots shown it was blowing 15-18 knots and there was not too much spill from the top of the jib.
I should have said "epoxied" instead of "fiberglassed" in the original post. More closeups of the 2 ends of the pole were added.

Best regards,
Jeff
