[C320-list] Whisker pole info

Sorry, thought you meant the head stay, I think you meant the forward lower shroud. Yes, ease the clew forward or extend the pole. The shroud will wreck the pole, and it's not built to handle side loads, only compression.

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.
