Stus-List Spinnaker pole handling

We use a carbon fiber pole on Water Phantom, C 36 XL/kcb, for our kite(s) and have 'oscillated' back and forth between doing dip-pole jibes or end-for-end. The pole is a relatively light Forte carbon fiber pole with snap-in fitting on both ends. We always use lazy sheets and guys. As the

Stus-List Bareboat charters in Southern Chesapeake

I am toying with the idea of chartering a 40+ foot mono or cat around memorial Day and the following week in the Southern Bay- the further south the better for traveling from NC or GA. Need room for ~ 4 adults and 4 kids (10-14) but we would not stay on board all week. Any recommendations

Re: Stus-List Pointers on re rigging an LF38

Shipping the rod may not be practical but it is possible if necessary. Rod can be 'rolled' into a circle whose diameter depends on the rod diameter--IIRC for my 36 XL, I think the yard rolled it into about a 6' diameter circle before it was securely tied up and shipped via UPS or FedEx to

Stus-List VMG at the helm.

Hey all; Although I have VMG (or at least its approximate equivalent) available from my Garmin 746 Chart plotter and can display it on one of my 4 Garmin displays above the companionway, I find it difficult to see it with crew in the cockpit and I don't like putting my head into the boat
