As long as I have owned the boat my whisker pole has basically laid on the deck with the jaw griping a stanchion and the other side bungied to the toerail. Generally this isn't much of a problem except in a bad chop where it begins to bang. It also is underfoot as my 30 doesn't have much room on the deck. I been thinking I would like to lock it onto the mast to get it out of the way.
As we are planning to do a bit of coastal cruising next month off of Delmarva it would be nice not to have to deal with this. Anyone have thoughts on needed hardware to achieve this. I figure the jaw can be placed on the pole ring and some sort of u mounted further up can then stabilize it and allow me to tie it down. Phil or anyone else I have seen clamps that mount on tracks on the mast but there is not track does the store have anything else that might work.
