We bent a spin pole on a C 33 MKII a day before the start of Chester
Race Weekcalled the Binnacle who said bring the bent pole and they
would have us a new one in two hours or less...they cannibalized it and
only really needed a new tube, which they had. We were ready to go in 1
1/2 hours.

Here's a short piece I wrote on how to rig and set a pole. It really isn't too
big a chore, if you do it
right.https

I race handicapped by PHRF Lake Ontario which has no rating adjustment
If you are racing under PHRF it is best to check the rating instructions
for your region. Below are the regions I race in:
In PHRF-NB (Narragansett Bay) the instruction states:
REPORTABLE ITEMS OR MODIFICATIONS:
R6) Rig modifications such as, but not limited to:
b.
I checked our rules and there is no limitation on whisker pole length in our
region. Dave

I race handicapped by PHRF Lake Ontario which has no rating adjustment for
whisker pole length. I picked
up a Forespar Line Control which goes out to 22', a fair bit for a 30' boat.
In light air, 4 knots TWS, setting the sails perpendicular to the wind works as
well as anything else I have
PHRF limits spin pole length to J for rating. Local clubs may allow longer
pole in non-serious racing, but they should be consulted before you get
protested by a competitor for using a pole longer than J.

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,
Not sure about other areas, but in my area (Western LIS) PHRF limits the
whisker pole length to LP without time adjustment. If you use a
J-length spinnaker pole as a whisker pole in non-spinnaker events, then
you get a 3 sec credit. And you do need a band on the whisker pole if
it's

length. I suspect it is sometimes suboptimal because I have noticed some
boats able to carry the genoa poled out at much closer angles than I
