whisker pole....

Post by americover »

Seeking advise......
We have races on Wednesday night main and jib only (using PHRF). The current class 7.9 rules don't address whisker poles (that I can see) so anything longer than the spinnaker pole length requires me to give up time to boats like......a Catalina 22 that has a 8' spinnaker pole and a 12' whisker pole max. with no extra adjustment due to C 22 class rules. Could the class consider a longer whisker pole length when using the genoa only to help on non spinnaker races with out damage to ODR requirements?

I have been out of the class for some time and I have just returned fron the dark side and am hoping to get back in the groove, thanks

Most PHRF rules state the whisker pole can not be larger than the foot length of the largest headsail. I would check with your area. Racing in PHRF their rules apply not our one class rules.
