Randy, our boats are aa bit odd - with a 13.5 foot J
measurement, our spin poles are that long, and they work
well with a 155. Other boats with smaller J measurements
don't get the benefit.

I poled out my 155% genoa last night with the spin pole,
because I don't have a whisker pole, and I found the spin
pole to be almost too long.
Cheers,

"If you are considering leaving the asymm tack on

guess that
would work but as pointed out is not legal under common

Rules of Sailing."
I've found the spin pole is too short for use as a
whisker pole even when poling out a genny (150%). For a
chute which is about 180% the clew will be in way too far
to pull well I would think.
