Hi Guys,
I’d like to buy a telescopic whisker pole for my hunter 41 - to use with my standard furling jib and my smallish asymmetric cruising gennaker.
I see that Forespar recommends the 13-24 ft model for 41 foot boats. However, I suspect that maybe that’s an overkill for me (particularly given the forward placement of my mast) - and it’s a lot more expensive than the 12-22 ft model (the 10-19 foot model is even cheaper).
By my calculations, I wouldn’t really need more than 18 feet to pole out my furling jib. But I can’t quite figure out if I am right, and of course I will need at least a few more feet for the gennaker.
What length should I get if I don’t really plan on using it for a racing spinnaker?
Thank you.
