Hello All,
I got lucky at my marina's flee market this summer and found a nice
spinnaker for a 100 bucks that's almost perfect for my boat. For some
reason a prior owner disposed of the spinnaker pole / car and I am in the
process of sourcing those. Not wanting to pay 1,600 - 1,800 for a custom
new pole I found a used one that might work. I need some help to determine
my course of actions:
My boat is a 1990 34+ (Also known as a 34/36) My "J" measurement is 14.83
feet and the pole I found measures 15.7 feet.
Can I just use it as is? I don't know the implications but it seems to
me that the pole sticking out 11 inches past the forestay would not be
a problem.
If not I suppose I could cut it and refit the end?
If I cut it, hoe much would I take out?
I might end-up buying new end fittings anyway just sot start with
something fresh.. At 350.00 asking price the pole looks like a good deal.
Thanks in advance,
-Francois Rivard
