Whisker Pole

This past weekend we completed the new whisker pole installation. The whisker pole will be useful when sailing downwind for both local races and when cruising. It will allow us to set the headsail out to windward and prevent if from flopping.

We went with a Forespar 13-24' line control whisker pole mounted on the mast. The installation required a new 1-1/4" track, topping lift, control lines for the inboard end toggle, and chocks. Our rigger Kim did a great job on the installation and we look forward to using it.
