"At the top of the front, where the pole goes through a grommet, I
ended up the pole tip pressing on the spinnaker fabric, as if there
wasn't enough clearance there.  I haven't checked yet, but I think
there must be a little peak in the fabric that didn't get extended,
got to be careful not to punch a hole here."

I worried about that apparent stress point, too, on my initial setup. It
would be upsetting to accidentally tear the fabric when wearily pitching
your tent at the end of a long day. So I took a round plastic cap from a
small plastic container and pushed it topside up into the little peak in the
fabric above the grommet and it stuck there just like it belonged. That
practically weightless addition should protect the pole tip from punching a
hole through the spinnaker.
