Re: M_Boats: Re: Whisker pole

I have a small, adjustable whisker pole, 4-8', that I like very much. Seems like it was about $70 from West Marine. I use it a lot, even up to a beam reach, but running wing and wing is where it shines brightest.

I've used my adjustable boat hook as a whisker pole. I can wedge the hand end against the hatch cover tracks. I'm thinking about buying a real whisker pole and mounting the attaching eye on the mast for my new 150 genny (seems like i'm constantly drilling new holes in the boat). Any suggestions?
