Re: Stus-List Spinnaker Pole Sizing

[Hoyt, Mike]

Yes you can use it as is. If racing declare it and take the six second penalty (or cut it down). Also since spin is used measure it and declare.   Not to declare oversized sails or spin pole is cheating. Using them and declaring them is not Mike From: j...@svpaws.net Sent: Sunday, November 3, 2013 11:03 AM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Reply To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Spinnaker Pole Sizing If racing in a competitive fleet someone may object.  Else, just go with it and enjoy a great find.   John Sent from my iPad On Nov 3, 2013, at 9:39 AM, Jean-Francois J Rivard <jfriv...@us.ibm.com> wrote: 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.
