I have a similar pole from Forte, not Forespar, with line control. I chose it instead of Forespar (many years ago) because it cost less (but still at least a boat buck, the surface was not as slippery (you can see/feel the carbon fibers) and they made one of the tubes for it match the same diameter as an aluminum pole of the same length. (One of the tubes was a stock tube but the other was custom made.) Plus, I thought the way they 'wound the carbon fiber on a very fancy 'mandrell' (picture in their literature) would make the pole pretty strong.
Forespar might do the same thing but either they would not make a custom tume for me or the cost was too much--don't remember which. In any event, the pole is still going strong. I do keep it below, however, out of the NC sun. The line control works fine also, as long as there is NO pressure on it. If there is, forgetaboutit!

I'm considering a Forespar Line Control whisker pole (LC 13-24) for my C&C 37+. I'd like to use the mast mounted storage option as well. I would be poling out a 145% furling headsail and an asymmetric spinnaker. Does anyone have any thoughts?
