Seeking a whisker or spinnaker pole for an O’40?

Hey Lou, go down to Anchors and Oars in Graysonville MD (Route 301/50). In the back, right hand side of the main barn, they must have at least 40 to choose from. I'm sure you could find a good used one there.

Fantastic! Thanks so much, never been there but they’re not far from my boat!

Oh really! Well you'll need to make sure you're not under any time constraints. It's like a toy store for sailors.

WOW! Is there such a collection of old whisker poles in New England?
I have a spinnaker pole that I have NEVER used, other than as a cover support, because I don't have a spinnaker. I would love to find a lightly used whisker pole. That, I would use frequently!

They don’t seem to have anything that will work w/ my boat, but thanks!

What are your requirements apart from a good price?

I know that months have gone by. Just saw your post this morning. Do you currently have a 1 1/4" T-Track installed on the front of your mast, and is there a mast car on the track? There are lots of used poles out there. The mast car that you have will be the place to start when looking for a whisker pole. A picture of the car would be helpful. Then the question is: are you just daysailing or planning to go offshore?
