A $100 whisker pole is better than nothing. On my C&C 30 the #1 is a 155%, about a 20.95' LP and ~ 22' foot. I have a Forespar line control 12-22' whisker pole and use every inch of it in light winds. I also have an older three piece Forespar twist lock whisker pole that I purchased used to try. It is too "flimsy" at full extension for anything put the lightest of winds. Collapsed a foot or so it is OK, but the 16' length is not optimum for my #1.
If you might race note that PHRF Lake Ontario does not have a length rule for whisker poles. Still, for $100 it also makes a great pole for a cockpit cover.

I don't have one (but there are chocks/mounts on the deck for one). Is this the right size for a C&C 32? How does a person determine suitable length for a whisker pole? Asking price is $100, this seems pretty cheap?? It's a forespar. Buy?! Thanks, Steve Suhana, C&C 32 Toronto
