Default Outboard Overboard!!!!

generally extend to 15' or more. I believe mine goes to 18' or 20'.
Horvath, I seriously doubt you sail. It's simply very unlikely.


I seriously doubt that you even know how to put up a spinnaker. You
probably only use the pole for poking in the mud.

Whisker pole for my spin? Oh boy. I think I prefer to use the spin pole for
that. Do you even know what a whisker pole is generally used for???
Good grief! You can't be a sailor!

You idiot! A whisker pole isn't for a spin. It's for the jib.
What a fool. I would have thought that someone who claims
to have a boat (even a crapola hunter) would know this.

That and he thinks it can't be 12 feet!!! I think we know what races Horvath is
in.

I never said a whisker pole was for a spinnaker. Doing it to yourself
is causing you to go blind, Jon-boy.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!
