Adding a whisker pole this year, finally. Looking at Forespar adjustable. Which end do you use? Spike or Latch? Thanks. Bill M17 Makin' Time -- Sent from my mobile device
bill: on SWEET PEA i have a 'spike' end to go into the clew grommet. on my M15 i had a latch end. liked both equally as each have plus and minus - * spike - quick to take down pole; sometimes a challenge to keep spike in grommet while setting pole. * latch - once latched to grommet will stay attached when setting pole; sometimes difficult to get a quick release of sail when removing pole. i found i curse each about the same ... and find they work well about the same. :: dave scobie :: m17 #375 - SWEET PEA - www.m17-375.webs.com :: sage marine - www.sagemarine.us --- On Wed, 4/6/11, Bill Wickett <billwick@gmail.com> wrote:
