Whisker Pole Length
Our Club belongs to two different associations. In one it states that for max LP < 123% max whisker pole length is equal to J. It further states that for LP > 123% max length is 0.8 times LP (for a 150 this would be 120% of J).

Does anyone know if this is a rule under racing rules or a local rule? I haqd thought maximum was always J regardless of LP.

This will help us as our club races are white sail only and are in the other association that does not state the length as clearly.

Regards
