Is there a std size for lack of better term to size a whisker pole based on ones J measurement? or a combo of the LP and J measurement?
Also, while not normally used, sizing for a pole for a asymetric
spinnaker? I am thinking for more straight downwind runs, ie 150-180* a pole would help my AS be a bit more usefull. It is a great sail flown loose in the 80-150* range!
Forspar recomends a 10-18' telescoping for my 30' boat, BUT, IIRC my local fleet in racing only allows a 70-80% of J pole for a whisker pole when racing, will verify this. So with a J of 11.5' 70% being 8.05'........at least for racing purposes, the 10-18 would make me illegal. I am not in the mood to spend $600-800 and just follow a books recomendation, if there is an actual formula to figure the proper size per say.
Thanks
