Hi Andy- I see that you are using a topping lift, and that would solve the problem. So far, I have not used one. I am guessing that you need to either attach to the clew, or use a topping lift and attach to the sheet? Topping lift means one more thing to mess with when setting up the pole. I have not tried attaching the topping lift and haven’t even looked at how that would be done with the Forespar whisker pole. I will play with that this weekend.
