Our rules don't allow us to use the whisker pole set at anything longer than
the J measurement. So, I got rid of mine.

We have 2 poles on the boat now, the spinnaker pole and the whisker pole.
The spin pole is stored as per the original C&C design: A half loop built
into the bow pulpit fore and a 3 inch shaft sticking out of a stanchion mount
aft. The forward jaw securely grabs the loop and the aft end just slips onto
the shaft. A simple and secure setup. It's right above the rail.
For the whisker pole I sort of copied the design. I have 2 stanchion mounted
furler line fair Leeds and a stainless U bolt that screws into the holes where
the line would go. That's mounted on the bow pulpit and I have a Forespar
stanchion mount on the aft part. I like that on both sides the pole end jaw is
closed on a rigidly mounted loop. This way no matter what there's no chance of
a 1000.00 $ + pole slipping to Davy Jones' locker.
In both cases it's right above the rail and does not interfere in any way.
Btw. The Forespar telescopic whisker pole is awesome. The fact that the
length is adjustable from the mast end is a terrific feature. You shorten it to
less than the J for gibes, it extends to about 22 ft for wing on wing. It
works well for reaching when pointed straight forward (almost at the forestay )
or shortened and set to leeward for the mother of barber haulers effect.
