[frers-list]Whisker pole

[Dave Nauber]

Joyce, it looks like you'll need to talk with your handicapper to get the answer. I know it's common for whisker poles to be telescoping to allow them to exceed the length of the spinnaker pole, but you'll need to find out if your handicap takes that into consideration.

In many areas a whisker pole is considered to be a spinnaker pole and any excess length is penalized in the same manner as an oversized spinnaker pole.  We went through this exercise several years ago and that is what we determined was done in many areas and that which we adopted here in Nova Scotia

Rules 50.2 & 50.3 apply. Spinnaker pole may not exceed the J measurement of the boat. I believe there is no such limitation on whisker pole length.

Either must be attached to the foremost mast. Only one in use at a time.

Anybody add to this please?
