Western LIS PHRF has a 6 sec/mi penalty for a whisker pole longer than the J measurement, but no limit. I just bought a Forespar 12-22, have been non-spin racing with a J-length spinnaker pole and found I usually can not get the No.2 (145%) to fly with it.

BTW, ECSA (Eastern CT PHRF) has removed max length for whisker poles from the regulations (someone mentioned other parts of Long Island Sound may still have restrictions). I only have a spinnaker pole (I mainly race with spin), so that's what I use, but (much) longer is needed to effectively pole out a 155%. My "J" is 13.6'; the #1 would be happy with the clew poled a bit more than 20' out.

    Well, $100 was pretty cheap. I have a twist lock that I may sell.
    Since getting the
    larger line control I have not used it much. As mentioned earlier,
    even at 17' it
    is small for a #1.

    If you would like to race National Yacht Club has a policy of
    welcoming racers from
    nearby clubs to join us for week night racing. You could race NFS
    on Tuesdays, FS
    on Wednesday, and there is a special beginners NFS on Thursdays.
    NYC also starts
    the race for the Alexandra Yacht Club on Thursdays. We have two
    "Around the
    Island" weekend races a year with an open invitation. You will
    need a PHRF-LO
    certificate and show $2M insurance coverage.

    If you are getting brave I have a spinnaker I could loan you.

        Thanks Dwight. I haven't raced the boat yet (except for some
        fun races the
        club hosts annually). The keelboat racing scene at our small
        club is
        dwindling but yeah, I plan to participate in the weekly races
        this year.
