Some observations
David, Ron is right, go to the Forespar web site and look at all of the applicable pages for whisker poles, including hardware and mounting. Having just installed a Forespar whisker pole on my 320, with mast storage, here are some observations. The extended length of the pole should be about equal to the foot of your largest foresail. Keep in mind that you may at some point want a larger sail than your present jib/genoa (I bought a large light air drifter), so go a little longer on the extended length. The pole diameter is set more or less by the boat size, so follow Forespar's recommendation. Mast storage is a pain since you have to mount a track on the mast to a sufficient height to accommodate the shortened length of the pole, plus mount a block above and below the track for an uphaul/downhaul system to control the height of the car holding the inboard end of the pole. The track may also be too large to accommodate on the 22's mast. Deck or stanchion storage may be best for you. As for mounting to the mast, gauging the correct height for the mounting fixture will be tricky since it shoud be at about a right angle to the mast when fully deployed. Perhaps you can do it on a quiet day at the dock. For the pole ends, call Forespar and get their recommendation. Good luck.
