1993 Hunter 30T: What size and brand whisker pole might you recommend? 110 Genoa.
Any suggestions on securing the Main to the toe rail?
How to you recenter the main?

Typically, the whisker pole is the same length as the foot on the genoa. Whisker poles are adjustable so you can change sails. Check out Annapolis Performance Sailing. The have some charts for sizing whisker poles.

Thank you markwbird.

Adjustable yes but the minimum length should be the jib tack to mast dimension, a 100% jib foot length, think they call that measurement "J"

Bill, I appreciate your suggestion. Thank you.

And if you race, that is the maximum allowable length.

Newage1471: appreciate the heads-up.
