Whisker poles are used to wing the jib when sailing downwind. Sailors who have experienced downwind sailing without one can appreciate the value of being able to stabilize the jib, enabling the sail to work more efficiently.
All of Forespar's whisker poles are constructed of high-strength, anodized aluminum tubing. The telescoping models shown here can be adjusted to any desired length and securely locked in position with an effortless twist of the inner tube. Where wind conditions tend to be gusty, the Double Latch option is recommended for avoiding accidental detachment of the sheet from the pole end.
