If I were racing in that neck of the woods I would like some clarification of this. Unrestricted pole length is a major advantage...especially in light airs.

It is covered in meeting notes from 2008 and 2009. WPL penalty – There will no longer be a penalty for oversized Whisker Pole lengths. 2009 Spring Meeting. https://www.phrf-lo.org/index.php/about-us/meetings/central-council/205-2009-spring-meeting It would be nice if there was some definitive statement in the current documentation but I do not see any.

In PHRF-NS the whicker pole is considered to be a spinnaker pole which is limited to J. You may wish to look in a definitions section if one is available. I have been involved with handicapping for many years in our region and this is my understanding of how most areas do it. However I do know there are some areas that have separate limit for whisker pole than for spinnaker pole that is permitted to be longer than J ? I just cannot recall at this time which areas those are Mike Persistence Halifax, NS
