Advertisment for selling frog gig poles
Addendum. Kermit advised the actual restaurant chain which by the way was used in a couple Kermit movies

.... Went to the big box hardware store and bought a 10 foot long closet rod. ....
Some people I know use the painting poles for paint rollers- one piece or twist lock..

The boat hooks ride inboard of the handrails with the hook going under the handrail. If you're racing, this doesn't work very well. But for the cruisers, they stay in place well enough. I suppose you got put a lashing on the handle and tie it to the handrail.

How about a ring on the shrouds. You put the end of the hook into it and slide up the shroud. A small loop at the toe rail secures the other end. It might interfere with a jib, especially if it is more than about 110 %

It ain't a real jib unless you can touch the clew while holding the wheel. :)
