Can anyone tell me how to figure out the size of whisker pole I would need on my e-39. I was in a marine consignment store today and they have some at good prices, but I'm not sure what I need. I have a 110 and a 150 .
thanks

What are proper steps in setting and then striking the whisker pole?
Today I was surrounded by five boats sailing wing-and-wing so, not wanting to let the "pros" show me up, I used my whisker pole for the first time. I managed to get it set and subsequently struck but am not sure if I did it...
I have a brand new spinnaker just waiting to be used. I'm trying to sort out the best configuration for running the topping lift and foreguy. I see the obvious mast fitting for a block for the topping lift, but what is the best way to run the line. There is also a fitting on the foredeck...
What kind of rigging do I need to use a whisker pole on my E30+?
I have the pole (which I have never used) and there is an attachment ring on the front of the mast, but there doesn't appear to be any other rigging like a topping lift or downhaul.
Also, the pole is adjustable, so how is the...
I bought an 1988 E-28 last summer. It had been on the hard for 4 years and somewhere during that time the pole went missing. The PO was deceased and his wife had no idea where it may have gone. The boat came with a good spinnaker. Around a 12 foot pole will do.
have a mast, a boom, and spin. pole from an ericson 35 for sale.It is a double spreader rig with all of the rigging,winches,fittings,etc. no roller furl but have a lot of extra stainless rigging to go with.Also a complete pedestal steering system that I will remove from the boat for you.My boats...
Finished one project and on to another! I'm going to get a Furuno 2KW radar and am debating mounting options. I am debating either the Garhauer pole or Questus backstay mount. This would be for coastal and bay cruising, and if I go the pole route, I may put a solar panel on it.
I know both...
My buddy wants to sell a Forespar telescoping whisker pole which is too small for his current boat. Diameter 2". It is 7' long in the unextended position and extends fully to 17' max. $200. Not shippable. Must be picked up in Pound Ridge NY (about 30 miles NE of NYC). Ernest Schlesinger...
Hello all! I put the spinnaker pole from my E32-3 (1987) boat up for auction on eBay. Check it out if you're looking for one!;)
Here is the link: spinnaker pole
I have the spinnaker pole, that came with my E32-3, off the boat and in storage at my business. It's been there for almost two years because I took it off since we fly an A-spinnaker and would never need it for that kind of sail. I'm even thinking about pulling the spinnaker deck mounts off...
So my wife and I just bought a really nice E28 - it came with an older telescoping whisker pole. I know how to use the whisker pole - but this pole is adjustable the outer tube has holes for what I would presume is a spring loaded type button to lock it in various lengths etc. This appears to be...
Wanted: Spinnaker Pole & or 3/4 ounce spinnaker for 1980 Ericson 38.
Please contact Kevin Padden, paddenpe@aol.com, or cell 631-241-0482.
Preferably North East for the pole.
Anxious to race with a spin!
I am putting new ends on my pole that will be a lot lighter than the lead filled ones that it came with. I got a set of Forespar composite ends with internal trips. The ends can also be also opened externally by sliding the piston back till it latches. It looks like the way these ends were...
Eventually I'll know something about sailing and I will be able to answer more questions than I ask. Until then, how long should a spinnaker pole be for a E35 with a J=14'. There's a really nice pole on Ebay right now that's 16'. Is this too big for a 14ft foredeck. As always, I thank you...
:egrin: 2.8"X10' WITH FORESPAR ENDS. LOOKS ALMOST NEW, WHEN I GOT THE BOAT IT HAD WHISKER POLE AND SPINNAKER POLE. NO SPINNAKER SAIL THOUGH SO I DONT NEED THE SECOND POLE. RETAIL IS AROUND $600, ANNAPOLIS PERFORMANCE SUPPLY CAT. HAS IT FOR $525. ASKING $200 WITH LOCAL PICKUP IN THE DALLAS, TEXAS...
Hello All,
I would like a whisker pole for my '83 E38. I do not race so it doesn't have to be anything real fancy. Fixed or retractable, either is fine. I have a nice large padeye on the mast to hook it to. I have looked at the Forespar product but came away more confused due to the multiple...
Found a great deal on ebay on a carbon fiber radar pole made by Seaview (PYI) out of Washington.
The gent let it go for 1/2 of a new pole and it was only a year old!
Anyway, what a carbon radar pole looks like on a 1972 E-35 MII
I am lokking to buy a Whisker Pole and a Spinnaker Pole for my E-29. If anyone has one for sale and/or is familiar with the dimesions please let me know.

hi all
74 35 II # 325
the boat is new to me and have been working on her since i got her in dec last year. was looking at the mast the other day and noticed that the baby stays would prevent the spin pole from going 90 deg to the mast. then i noticed that on the deck there is a pad eye...
I have been talking to an engineer/boat designer/boat builder friend of mine and we are going to build a pole for my E-38-200. He is building one for his 30 footer that he races. We are going to use carbon fiber and vacuum bag it. I am trying to decide on a proper diameter and then a wall...
Does anyone know where the Spinnaker pole foreguy,(downhaul), attatches to the foredeck. We just bought a spinnaker to go with all the spinnaker rigging that came with the boat and for the life of me I cannot figure out where the foreguy is attatched.
Any ideas are greatly appreciated

Does anyone have any advice for fabricating a whisker pole? I have the materials, 2" and 1 7/8" (telescoping) aluminum tubing and forespar ends. Is there a way to figure how long to make it? I plan on using a pin to adjust the length for 120%, 135%, 150% and an asymmetrical spinnaker. My boat is...
In the process of inspecting my rigging this year, I somehow convinced myself that adding height to the mast, length to the boom, and upgrading the spinnaker pole to carbon were all good ideas.
Hence I now must dispose of the original equipment, which is in reasonable condition for it's age...
Looking for a used Spinnaker pole for an E29, preferably in the NorthEast - they are kinda hard to ship!!!
I believe the dimensions to be 12'x2 1/2"

Hi, I was wondering if any one could tell me what the best technique for mounting a whisker pool is. I have an adjustable pole, twist lock forespar. I want to be able to pole out the jib and fly wing and wing down wind. The time's I've tried it, I've had a difficult time getting the pole...
