[frers-list]Whisker pole

[Hoyt, Mike]

I believe that Checkmate races under the jurisdiction of YRALIS.  YRALIS me=
ntions Whisker Pole Length only in their Non-Spinnaker Regulations.  It doe=
s seem to indicate that SPL > than J is normal and that WPL of J may even q=
ualify for a credit.  It is worth looking into if that is the case.

"Pole Length: Whisker poles may not be longer than "LP" without penalty. Ex=
tendable poles must be banded to indicate their maximum permitted length. S=
pinnaker poles may be used as whisker poles. When a competitor declares a L=
P greater than 135% and a pole of J length, a +6 credit may be claimed. If =
the declared LP is from 120% to 135% with a J length pole, +3 credit may be=
 claimed. No credit is available when the declared LP is less than 120% wit=
h a J length pole." (from YRALIS Performance Handicapping Racing Fleet Regu=
lations)

Joyce, it looks like you'll need to talk with your handicapper to get the a=
nswer. 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 e=
xcess 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 dete=
rmined 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?
