[C320-list] Whisker pole info

[Andrew Santangelo]

Chuck,

For my rig the whisker pole goes from the pad-eye on the mast to the clew of the 155 genny.  Jib sheets are run as normally done.  The whisker pole is kept just ahead of the shrouds.  I have put several wraps of a thick tape on the Whisker Pole just in case it rubs on the shrouds - the tape takes the damage instead of the pole and shrouds.

If you want, I can show my set up in person at Anchorage Marina.

Best Regards,
Andrew Santangelo

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.
