I know what a whisker pole is. And I pointed out that racing rules
say that you can't use one longer than your J. You win the "Dumbass
of the Week" award.

BTW, why would you have a whisker pole if you never race? I still
think your whole story is a lie.





Pathetic Earthlings! No one can save you now!

I maintain that Horvath STILL does not know what a whisker pole is for. Now he
thinks it only for racing!!!!

Bwahahahaha! He's back, Ozy!!!

I didn't say it was only for racing, dumbass. I asked why you would
have one, if you didn't race.

Ozzy, he does NOT know what it's used for and probably is too dumb to read the
link I posted.

We use a whisker pole and don't race (technically)....it's really handy to
pole out the jib when you're on a beam reach in a following sea...then your
jib is always collapsing every time a swell hits a bit beamy...and it's
handy when flying wing=on=wing, especially when there's a bunch of motorboat
traffic....and you can use it to poke your husband at the helm when he's not
paying attention to what you're saying....
