Thanks Rob
And what I am suggesting is very similar to sailing downwind by the lee in a Laser, a lot of fats Laser sailors do that, except for our C&C boats, like those I have sailed on we have a main and a jib but the jib is the power sail for us, so for best speed downwind sail the jib by the lee and to do that you need a strong pole and there won't be many occasions unless you are very bolds when you will be flying your 110.believe me I wish I had have used my 110 with 30-40 on the stern.that was a helluva a ride in a 27 MKIII _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Robert Abbott Sent: April 4, 2014 4:05 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Stus-List Wisker pole - 32 I agree with Dwight, if I had only one pole, it would be the spin pole, spinnaker or not, far more practical, adjustable, and stronger.....and in a breeze, the 32 can handle stronger.
