Here are the non-spin regs for YRALIS. The full doc is here http://goo.gl/t2vIW
These are the same we use on the Hudson. Whisker poles must be banded to the max length. When I raced non-spin on my Catalina 30 we cleaned up as I had a telescoping pole. Non-Spinnaker Regulations The following regulations supplement the YRA of LIS PHRF Fleet regulations: 1. Non-Spinnaker YRA of LIS PHRF ratings: Participating yachts must have valid YRA of LIS PHRF certificates. Each YRA of LIS PHRF certificate bears both spinnaker and non-spinnaker ratings. 2. The intent of Non-Spinnaker racing is that boats sail off the wind with the same sails they use to sail on the wind. Therefore, ketches and yawls may not fly staysails off the wind unless such sails are used when sailing upwind. 3. Jibs must be attached along their luff to the headstay, unless the boat has no headstay. 4. Pole Length: Whisker poles may not be longer than “LP” without penalty. Extendable poles must be banded to indicate their maximum permitted length. Spinnaker poles may be used as whisker poles. When a competitor declares a LP greater than 135% and a pole of J length, a +6 credit may be claimed. If the declared LP is from 120% to 135% with a J length pole, +3 credit may be claimed. No credit is available when the declared LP is less than 120% with a J length pole. 5. Jib Limitations: Non-spinnaker racing is defined, for this purpose, as prohibiting the use of any headsail whose mid-girth (mid-luff to mid-leech) measurement is more than 50% of its foot measurement. Except when changing headsails, participating yachts may not fly more than one headsail at a time. (Yachts that are permanently cutter rigged may fly their staysails.)
