[Thomas O'Neal]

Any advice on adding a whisker pole to my hunter 386? Sources to purchase one, tips, etc.

Forespar has the poles for most boats.

You may also find Defender.com a resource.

We offer the Selden pole that extends to 19.4ft for $695, we're not competitive with Forespar, their 402200 pole that extends to 22ft is $1229 at Defender.

I searched the SBO site. Could not find the poles just the accessory parts. Perhaps there is need for a relevant link in the store.

Thanks John, not sure what is broken there, I'll get Phil!

DAVE... Phil? And here I thought he was "de-throned"...

I think there are OSHA rules that require everyone to have access to a throne.

Hello,

Remember that you will need chocks or some other way to store the pole. You will also need a ring on the mast to mount the pole too, and a topping lift.

Good luck,
Barry

Thanks all so far.
