J is the max length for a spinnaker pole without penalty under PHRF rules. In PHRF regions that do not make a distinction between a spin pole and a whisker pole, any pole longer than J wil get a penalty.
In regions that do make a distinction, you can follow the best sailing practice of having a whisker pole equal to 1.24 of J, presuming your largest genoa is a 155.
