[C320-list] whisker pole fitting on mast

[Denny Browne]

Forespar LC 12-18 is the right one. It's 12' closed and 18' fully extended. I have an LC 13-22 and it's overkill, considerably heavier and when fully extended, it's over the max allowable for PHRF racing.

Then I would use aluminum pop rivets to fasten the fitting to the mast. Track and car is better but you still need to fasten it to the mast.CheersJohnM1999#574
