Hi Josh, I’d suggest waiting till you can get the carbon spinnaker pole. It will make all the difference in how often you use it. It will take the compression load to crank the Asym around to allow you to sail deeper, and maybe line up better with the waves, a good offshore trick. Any two-part adjustable pole will be heavy and much harder to manage. A good rigger can help with the track cars and clamp to keep the rattling and banging to a min.
