[C320-list] Whisker Pole Length

[warren updike]

I have a 12' pole I use with a 150% jib. I rarely use all 12 feet. 

I'm using the pole mostly on downwind runs while wing'n'wing. It holds the
jib out nicely and is easy to deploy and retireve. I also rig a preventer on
the main as a precaution. I've had days where I've run N or S on the
Chesapeake Bay for hours with this rig. Well worth the investment.
