Hey Chuck...you're making the guys in the O'Day 32 spend money, Joe had a rigger on his boat installing a bow sprit today...between him and Bob on Beowolf there will be at least two new spins flying.

If you place the whisker pole between the stays and the sheets get away from you, the pole should not hit your stays because the sheets should be allowed to run freely through the pole's jaws. Forespar recommends not attaching the pole to the clew.

<blockquote id="quote"><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" id="quote">quote:<hr height="1" noshade id="quote"><b>The jib sheet should be set thru the end fitting without any twist or loops around the end of the pole.</b> Do not attempt to set the end fitting jaws directly into the clew of the sail (the grommet or eye of the sail itself). This will cause a twist in the sail which could damage the end fitting and sail as well. The sheet should run freely thru the end fitting. Do not attach it to the bowline at the jib clew. The reason is that if you need to turn the boat in an emergency or to avoid an object in the water, the sail must be allowed to blow out around the headstay. If the sheet is not allowed to run freely thru the end fitting, the pole could be forced against the stay and bent.
