[frers-list]RE: Whisker pole

[Arthur Kelley]

Joyce,

June Kendrick is one of our PHRF-LIS measurer, Frers-41 owner, and understands the situation in our area. You may want to ask for a reduced crew weight credit at the same time if you regularly sail non-spinnaker with fewer than maximum crew.

If you have a whisker pole shorter than your listed LP, you can get a non-spinnaker rating adjustment for that shorter pole.
