I’m with Joe on this. I considered carbon but the $800-1000 extra cost was not
worth it. The key for me is that I can store the line control whisker pole
attached to the mast, so I don’t ever have to pick it up, thus the extra weight
of the aluminum version is not a problem. Dave

I had Forespar build a line drive carbon fiber whisker pole (all carbon fiber,
no aluminum extension) for our C&C 39TM 5 years ago. I spent the time to
discuss at length the build with Forespar tech at their facility

One other thing to keep in mind: if you do damage a pole, and it’s carbon
fiber, it’s going to be a pricey fix. With aluminum, you can usually remove
and reuse the end fittings and get new tubing; or if the damage is near an end
fitting, cut the damaged tubing off and reinstall the end fitting
would be more of a requirement than a luxury.

Currently sailing downwind off the N coast of Puerto Rico and just set up the
22' pole to wing out the jib by myself in 20 knots of breeze while my wife
steered. It really isn't hard. People often overthink the process, though.

Joe; what I would like to get is some analysis on whether the lighter pole is
worth the additional cost? Thanks
