Capnjim Does your PHRF rule book contain the sentence: "One whisker pole only shall be used, on side of boat opposite to main boom, even though more than one
jib is set simultaneously"? Doesn''t that go to the point of your rating? If then your rating is compromised, are you racing fairly? While I raise these questions, I hope that you are correct. Between 80d and 120d apparent a vanged pole to leeward is the only way to prevent excessive twist in the high clewed genoa.
