Hmmm, when I mounted the eye for our pole last week on our '03 M17, with the pole level for the genoa, the eye was just around the mast cleats, maybe a bit lower. And that is below the boom on our boat. I would estimate 18" max from the cabin top. Might be 3' from the deck. Going to the boat tonight for 3 days. I can take some pics and email to you Tom. Pole should extend as long as the foot of the sail, which for the 130 Genoa is more than the J measurement. So it is more than 6', and with the 6-12, you have a pretty good overlap of the sections.

Well, Jerry, how high up on a 17, If I might ask? Maybe the 6-12 pole would be more appropriate, but I don't have the mast up to see if the longer pole is necessary.
Thanks, Tom Jenkins

3' up from base; Forespar 4-8 is about perfect and will even work for a
150 or big drifter.

Hello All, Can anyone tell me at what height on the mast the eye should
be installed on a M-15 to use a whisker pole on the factory jib? How long a pole will I need? .With thanks.
