I've got a new-style boat, so the situation is a little different.  In
the photo, http://www.alberg30.org/pictures/WildGoose2001/photo14.html,
you can see the padeye for the spinnaker turning block.  There's no
block mounted in that photo, however.

I wouldn't trust a stanchion base, anyway.  The loads on a spinnaker
sheet can be considerable.
