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.

Forget it Oz. He doesn't know what to use it for...

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....
