Thanks, Tod, I assume you have attachments on both sides of the mast? Also, looking at the pics, I didn't see evidence of a shackle on the clew cringle. It appears the pole attaches directly to the clew cringle. Is that right? Nice pics by the way -- thanks again! Dan M-17 316B "htmills@bright.net" wrote:
Dan,
Here are a couple of photos showing the whisker pole on BuscaBrisas.
The first one is flying a 109%: http://msog.org/trippics/tod_lakehuron_01/Image3.jpg
and the second one is flying a 155%: http://msog.org/trippics/tod_lakehuron_01/Image13.jpg
The sails are Kern's.
Notice that with the 109 the whisker pole is angled up quite a bit but with the 155 it's nearly horizontal. If I were mounting the whisker pole for the first time I'd raise the attachment on the mast up to maybe a couple of inches below the gooseneck.
