Stus-List Finally Won a Race now reaching strut

Hi David, Yeah we do it all the time, it's also called a reaching strut. On our boats, the whisker pole is overkill and kind of too big / heavy anyway. Since we only do it in very light winds I just get Nicholas to grab the boat hook, push the clew out with it, hold it by hand / prop it on th

The boat hook: We only do it in really light winds 0-4 knots, were talking glassy water on the lake. It's a cinch do undo and it's a cinch to hold. We do sail under US Sailing rules and there are no stipulation whatsoever about the length of the pole, it's attachment to the mast, or position

If you are sailing under US Sailing rules, the pole must be attached to mast, no longer than J measurement, and always opposite side from the boom. You cannot hold any pole by hand. Bill Walker CnC 36 Pentwater, Mi ___ This list is supported by

Re: Stus-List Finally Won a Race now reaching strut

I fully endorse the Drifter suggestion. We have (as a part of the twenty something sails that came with Corsair) a 1/2 oz Drifter that will get us a knot of boat speed for a knot of breeze. It has to be on the deck when the true wind hits 8 knots. We baby this 1971 built sail and it has prov

Re: Stus-List Finally Won a Race now reaching strut

Francois, US SAILING Rule 50.2 clearly requires whisker or spinnaker pole to be attached to mast. I think you will lose the argument at protest that you are using a boat hook not a whisker pole and therefore it doesn't have to be attached but maybe not. J length maximum pole restrict
