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.  Dave
