[C38] Spinnaker pole diameter

[Max Soto]

Hi David,
Thanks for the info!
I'm planning to use the spinnaker most of the time  with the ATN tacker for
a more "user friendly" handling, and use this pole for racing only (practice
included), and there are only three races per year, so,  as much as I will
love and need the light weight of a carbon fiber pole,  I'm thinking on
getting a used and a lot cheaper aluminum pole, this way I won't spend a lot
of money on something that I won't use and need very often!!!
Just a thought!!
