I would recommend the telescoping pole, as well. If you are sailing in
a 'wing &
wing' set up, you want the pole to be able to at least extend the length
of the foot
of the sail, possibly longer since in this case you need the extra
length from the mast
fitting to the clew which is not necessarity in line with the mast but
somewheres in
front of it. For other tacks to just keep the sail supported in light
airs, you would need
less length, but the telescoping pole should take care of that.

Is there a rule of thumb for picking the proper whisker pole length?
It's for a 150% Genoa in this case.

Different sails require different lengths. If you want to use the pole
with more than one sail it has to be telescoping.
