Dave, I’d be very wary of any dent fix solution that doesn’t involve a sleeve. Even better, simply buy a length of aluminum tube of the same dimensions, cut it to length and add all the existing hardware. I don’t have any numbers but I have to believe it will be cheaper than having someone try to pull the dent out.
Remember, when that spinnaker is up it will be putting a large amount of strain on that pole. Having it fold up at the wrong moment will be un-fun.
