I've located a Forespar pole in slightly used condition, telescopes from 7 to 
16 feet, for $150, which seems about $100 less than the catalogue price.  
Should I buy?  I am assuming from Lee's post that it would work for the 
genoa, since he said the pole should be about 12 feet.  Would 16 feet be long 
enough to pole out the cruising spinnaker as well?  

Thanks for the advice!
