[C320-list] Whisker pole info

[John Phillippe]

I run a 155 in competition and in certain points of sail we place the pole aft of the forward lowers. We are aware of the potential issues and would not do this for non competition sailing.
We have not experienced any problems to date.

I have an adjustable ring, but couldn’t move the ring high enough to avoid those stays.  Do I just need to get the clew further forward?  How about running the jib sheets below the lifelines?  Please share your experience.
