Unfortunately we're limited to J. It's OK for DDW, but doesn't allow much
reaching up in the lighter airs. Allowing 80% of the genoa's LP, as someone
mentioned earlier as the most efficient pole length, would be better. If I did
my math right, that translates to a pole length of 124% of J for the 155% genny
that most use.That would also be a major improvement for beam reaching.
Normally the clew of the genny will start to curl in on the 155% on a beam
reach, so having the pole to extend the curl back to smooth flow would be more
efficient.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

Ron, Gary, Rick, Curious. Does your RC allow adjustable whisker poles longer
than J length to be used during a race in your areas?
