So the J measurement on the C25 is 12' 6".

Is that eye-to-eye, tip-to-tip, just the pole itself?

Though I am not a racer, I want to make sure the pole is the correct length for the next owner - especially if he (or she) is a racer.

Pole length is measured from the front of the mast to where the guy attaches. If you just cut the aluminum tubing to 12'6" your pole will probably be 6"-10" too long. PHRF generally doesn't care if you are 2" too long, so 12'6" from inside of hook to inside of hook is probably okay.

Thanks for the reply Alex.

I was wrong on the J measurement, it is 10'6", NOT 12'6". Perhaps someone could confirm that, please.

Anyhow, I called Forespar and they said measuring from "tip-to-tip" or outermost surfaces.

Now, to cut the $250+ tube perfectly square . . .
