[Public-List] whisker pole

[Don Campbell]

I have used a spinnaker pole made by AMCO that has a peg in it to set the 
distance. I think it is a 2 1/2"  - 3" extendible pole for the inside 
diameters and I cut a bit out of it initially so that I had a length of 10' 
for the J and a legal spin pole. I have used it extended for a whisker pole 
and in Canada , we have used a  now outdated PHRF rule that allowed the 
whisker pole to be 1.65 x J and attached only at the clew and mast. (PHRF 
has now made whisker poles without rules for length or attachment points.) 
That meant one had to use the correct length for the sail you were using, 
about 14'3" for a 165 genoa. I have had no trouble with this pole but cannot 
find where AMCO is now. (My foredeck crew also handles this pole very well)

I bought a whisker pole a couple of years ago and had trouble with the
inboard fitting on the mast. It broke and I have not found a decent
replacement.
