[Public-list] Whisker pole

[Rob Alley]

Peter Amos:  You might be able to get bamboo at the Botanical Gardens in 
Kew--I have seen some giant bamboo there--it dies back and has to be 
trimmed.  If any is available, your next problem may be getting it home!!

>Thanks for the advice.I have a spinnaker pole (but no spinnaker)and I find it heavy and awkward to set up on a jib.I have been reading Hal Roth and he mentions using 2.5 inch bamboo for his whisker pole which is much lighter,but I have no idea where to obtain bamboo.Maybe I will continue with the spinnaker pole but try to work out a procedure to make it easier to set up
