Spinnacker pole length.

Postby Steveb » Mon Apr 30, 2007 3:34 pm

I have a spindrift DS1, I'm in the process of adding a spinnacker.
I've checked all the guides but I cannot find a reference for the ideal spinnacker pole length...can anyone help me?.Thanks

article 7:13 of the specs and measurements document http://forum.daysailer.org/pdf/dsbylaw3.pdf

cites that a spinnaker pole can be no longer than 74" and cannot be placed higher than 48" above the deck.

Just to add, Max length 74", is disireable, and includes the end fittings.
