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

Third, holding a sail out by han
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.

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

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.
