Any recommendation for rigging a whisker pole without fouling the lower shrouds? Wendell S/V Purrin hull 1492

added a track

I didn't have a track on the front of my mast so I added one with a sliding ring to hook the pole to. I only have a 110% genny so it is easy to avoid the shrouds. Sometimes I have to mount it aft of the forward shroud, no biggie.

Rigging

You should run one sheet from the sail clew to a bow cleat. Adjusting this line, along with the sheet running back to the winch, will keep the whisker pole from contacting the shrouds. See the Forespar whisker pole info page below.
