In PHRF Long Island Sound, the whisker pole length is limited to your LP
dimension (clew to luff), not sure how other areas address pole length.
If you sail non-spinnaker and use your spinnaker pole with the jib, you
can actually get a credit depending on the size of the jib.

For us, Whisker poles are not treated the same as the spinnaker pole
which is true for many other regions. Again, no mention of it in the
phrf docs and everybody's using whisker poles that are long enough to
be effective.
Truth is: A spin pole's length is woefully inadequate as a whisker
pole (I have tried it), especially with a 150 % or above genoa. Sorry
you guys can't use a "real" whisker pole with enough length to fully
deploy a 150, you're missin' out.

JF - check your PHRF certificate. It specifies your spinnaker pole
length. A whisker pole is in fact treated the same as a spinnaker
pole and unless your Sis state differently cannot exceed spin pole
length without penalty. If a pole longer than that declared is used
or one that is unmeasurable (boat hook not attached) then you have
violated your PHRF declaration and are subject to protest and DSQ
