If you used a 20 foot whisker pole to get your 155 clew further out to leeward do the rules state that the inboard end of the pole must be attached at the mast? I have never found a beneficial (better speed) use for a long whisker pole like that.and when I do see them used most boats have a crew controlling the inboard end from near the shrouds. _____ From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Tim Goodyear Sent: April 4, 2014 6:00 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Whisker pole - 32 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.

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.

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.
