Limiting to LP makes more sense. My association's bylaws are moot on whisker poles.
However, I sometimes see whisker poles limited to J in sailing instructions for a particular regatta. If you're flying a 155 then the sail won't be fully extended and will flop around. Been there, done that, hate it. For a 35-1, the difference between J and LP (at 155% genoa) is nearly 8 feet (22.5 vs 14,5)! Dennis C.
