Does anyone know if it is legit to have the whisker pole and the boom on the same side in a race? An old salt in the area said it was a protest but never show us the racing rule.

The old salt is pickled

There might be something in your local rules about whisker pole length but not on how you deploy it.

New Rules Changed This?

The 'Old Salt' actually was correct until the last rules change. While I don't have a copy of the current rules at home, I remember hearing from a competitor that you can now carry the spinaker pole on either side. Of course, if it come up in a race, you'd want to have a copy of the rule at hand.

Whisker Pole

It is now legal to fly it on either side. Don't remember the rule number but if you need it let me know. The wife has my rule book. Go Figure.
