[C38] Spinnaker pole diameter

[David Epstein]

Max,

The spinnaker poles for C38s are 3-1/2" in diameter.   As to the 
length, remember that the hardware on the mast counts in the overall 
length (J is measured from the mast itself, not the length of the 
pole).   I would suggest you consider a carbon fiber pole, if your 
budget will permit.

C38 #122, SuperStar
Marina del Rey, California
