Chuck,
I carry a second, shorter spinnaker pole. It is easy to handle and is only used on the leeward side of the boat. It’s from a Catalina 27. I’m considering cutting it down a bit more, since it is still pretty long.

And I'm still learning myself. In a very short race, with drifter light winds, my crew tried to use a boat hook to hold out the genoa clew. The boat behind said it was illegal. I asked their skipper to confirm and he agreed, so we put it away and rigged our spin pole, which took us a long time because we had to setup the pole lift, and are so green. I always wondered if I was naive about using a boat hook. I'd like to rig a 4 ft strut on each side of the boat for pushing the genoa out. The spin pole is inefficient, because it is 15 ft long.
