You need one :-) If you're interested I might be able to talk my rigger buddy into ordering more. He had the best price / made the pill a little easier to swallow. But honestly, it's worth every penny and all things considered probably one of the best bang for the buck speed improvement both in terms of simplicity and cost.
The only regret I have is not having ordered one sooner.

From: "Jean-Francois J Rivard via CnC-List" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Sent: Saturday, May 2, 2015 7:37:51 PM Subject: Stus-List Spinnaker pole storage We have 2 poles on the boat now, the spinnaker pole and the whisker pole. The spin pole is stored as per the original C&C design: A half loop built into the bow pulpit fore and a 3 inch shaft sticking out of a stanchion mount aft. The forward jaw securely grabs the loop and the aft end just slips onto the shaft. A simple and secure setup. It's right above the rail. For the whisker pole I sort of copied the design. I have 2 stanchion mounted furler line fair Leeds and a stainless U bolt that screws into the holes where the line would go. That's mounted on the bow pulpit and I have a Forespar stanchion mount on the aft part. I like that on both sides the pole end jaw is closed on a rigidly mounted loop. This way no matter what there's no chance of a 1000.00 $ + pole slipping to Davy Jones' locker. In both cases it's right above the rail and does not interfere in any way. Btw. The Forespar telescopic whisker pole is awesome. The fact that the length is adjustable from the mast end is a terrific feature. You shorten it to less than the J for gibes, it extends to about 22 ft for wing on wing. It works well for reaching when pointed straight forward (almost at the forestay ) or shortened and set to leeward for the mother of all barber haulers effect. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ 'Take Five' Lake Lanier, Ga _______________________________________________ Email address: CnC-List@cnc-list.com To change your list preferences, including unsubscribing -- go to the bottom of page at: http://cnc-list.com/mailman/listinfo/cnc-list_cnc-list.com
