[C320-list] Whisker pole operation

[Roger Sullivan via C320-list]

I have ordered a new whisker/spinnaker pole. When setting up to install the
mast pole mount, I was surprised to see that the forward lower shrouds are
right where the pole would be in use. Does a genoa whisker pole work when
extended forward of the front shroud? Alternatively, can it be made to work
extended between the forward and middle shrouds?
Thanks,
Roger

Roger,

We use a pole very effectively, particularly when we want to be near dead
downwind. We move the jib cars all the way aft and then bring the pole back
to about 1 to 2 " off the forward shroud.
