Has anyone priced out how much a carbon pole is for a 38? The existing one is a monster and I need to double the foredeck crew to manhandle it around the boat.
I know the AL size is 15'3" X 4" and I talked to Larry Tuttle at Waterrat about it (they make high performance dinghy products for the 5o5's I race) and understand with the increased strangth, I could get away with reducing the OD by 1/2" but they don't make poles anymore (no propreg). Anyone talked to Forespar about this? How about the composite ends- any experience with them?
Thanks,
