Just noticed in that pic, the whisker pole doesn't look right! The sheet is slack, but the jib clew appers (off screen) to be tight to the end of the pole.

???

"Hey - what exactly did you mean when you said mark room?"

Or - "Did that leave a mark? We can't BS our way out of it with a green stripe on the hull"


Paul - Since they are rounding the mark and will be a little improperly trimmed. Especially since it looks like a nice cluster going on. Especially since no-one is paying attention to the sails. Looks like a gybe mark too - There isn't a guy leaning on the boom - from the way they are rigged I think they are sailing pretty close to the lee - that boom's gonna knock somebody's block off!

Ya, they're jibing (gybing)--the boat to the right is on starboard. But with no wind, I suspect they'll have to push the boom over.

"Honest--I painted that green bootstripe on starboard--I just didn't have any red for the port side."

sorry, wasn't clear about the whisker pole.

I thought the clew is supposed to be free, ie. the sheet is supposed to be able to run through the clip on the end of the whisker pole.

If it were free, then wouldn't the jib be slack if the sheets are slack?

I'm not sure Paul but it looks like he is setting up the pole and when you are adjusting the length if you don't have the sheets loose you will be fighting them. Also, whether you hook up to the sheet or the clew is probably dependent on what end you have on the pole. I have seen poles that have a spike which I thought was specifically designed to spear the clew. Actually I thought the fellow working the pole was the only one who looked like he knew what he should be doing.

Joe, the pic shows the boat running to the bouy for a turn to stbd, after the bouy the pole is probably not going to be used (at least that is my understanding) so he should be taking the pole down or, at least, disconnecting it from the jib.

I'm only scratching at this as I have a pole in my garage, not installed yet (no mast track) and I'm trying to understand the correct handling of the whisker pole.

Paul.

I think sloop is right paul, even if the sheet is slack, if the mast end isn't "made" the sail will have that look as he pushes it out.

Looks to me like the boat to the right (ahead) is running or broad-reaching on starboard, so the guy with the pole is either preparing to set it on the starboard side after they jibe the main (to continue wing-and-wing) or just removing it for a reach. Then again, considering the circumstances, he might be preparing for a 360.
