The boat hook: We only do it in really light winds 0-4 knots, were talking
glassy water on the lake. It's a cinch do undo and it's a cinch to hold.

Francois,
US SAILING Rule 50.2 clearly requires whisker or spinnaker pole to be
attached to mast. I think you will lose the argument at protest that you are
using a boat hook not a whisker pole and therefore it doesn't have to be

Second, a reaching strut holds the spinnaker guy outboard to increase the
angle and take load off the guy and compressive load off the spin pole.
Third, holding a sail out by
Hi David,
Yeah we do it all the time, it's also called a reaching strut. On our
boats, the whisker pole is overkill and kind of too big / heavy anyway.
Since we only do it in very light winds I just get Nicholas to grab the
boat hook, push the clew out with it, hold it by hand / prop it on
