Sounds OK as long as the extrusion you got will handle the loads that a working pole has to carry.

Way to go man. What were these fittings, and is this an adjustable pole? You should show off your work and show us some pictures. -Ivan Sent Using my Blackberry 8350i From: [email protected] Sender: [email protected] Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2010 17:55:27 EDT To: <[email protected]> ReplyTo: [email protected] Subject: Re: [IC27A] spinnaker pole I shopped around for a metals/aluminum distributor and bought a 12 ft extrusion for about $100, ordered end fittings from Defender and put it together myself. Total coast was about $200. Chuck Fogel Bloody Mary #2381 Montrose Harbor, Chicago In a message dated 6/29/2010 1:50:10 P.M.

The Forespar pole carried by West and others seems a bit pricey at over $500. Any other suggestions? Used would be fine, if you know of one. Matthew Chachere "Bochinche" Brooklyn/Sag Harbor NY
