What should the length of a whisker pole or spinnaker pole be for a standard rig, 100% or 133% genoa?
Can one pole be used for both?

In the C25 parts catalog, the length listed for the spinnaker pole is 10' 6". As for the whiskerpole, according to West Marine, "Suggested pole length is 100% of the foot of the headsail."

Additionally, check out the size recommendations from Forespar at

Check out our Organization Constitution and Bylaws....

The Max Allowable lengths listed there are also the recommended lengths by Catalina.
