Re: Spinnaker Pole

The "LC" stands for line control, so you may want to verify the model you have.

Re: Spinnaker Pole

looks like a whisker pole, not a spin pole.

Re: Spinnaker Pole

Anyone care to educate me by sharing what is the difference between a spinnaker pole and whisker. I am working under the impression that either can hold out a jib/genoa or a spinnaker, but now starting to think I could be wrong! OMG!

Re: Spinnaker Pole

Spinnaker poles are heavier to take compression loads and have bridles for topping lifts and downhauls. If you can adjust the length, it is a whisker pole. The Forespar is a nice one!

Re: Spinnaker Pole

Would it be possible to shorten this pole?
