[C38] Whisker pole suggestions

[Max soto]

Hi Pierre, that's a good whisker pole for out boats. BTW, I so on a magazine that Forespar now has a three piece whisker pole, which is almost half the length of the one on the link..
If you are not using it on the big genoa, you should go for a shorter one. The maximum length on mine is 22'. It is supposed to be as long as the foot from the larger sail that you will be using. 
If you are going for mast storage, you can't use that ring. You'll need to use one just like in the attached pic. You'll also need a couple of chocks for the track and some kind of ring for the lower end. You'll also need some control lines in order to lower/raise the pole..
Hope this helps!
Regards,
