Josh, I have the carbon fiber Forespar line control whisker pole for my C&C 39TM. We had it overbuilt by Forespar so that we can use it a spinnaker pole for the asymmetrical spinnakers as well as the symmetrical spinnakers. The thing works perfectly, but is heavy as heck and you must keep it covered or the UV we eat it alive. However, it is great piece of equipment to have on board and if built properly can be a useful sailing tool
