Ericson 32-3 Whisker Pole Ring

[boyle_brian]

Hello all - I plan on installing a pole on my 1985 Ericson 32-3. The mast doesn't have a ring installed on it. Anyone have advice on the proper height to fix it (distance from the deck)?

Many Thanks!

Brian

Have you considered a short length of track with an adjustable eye?

Something like this:

The track idea is good.

To find the location of a simple ring on the mast, hoist the genoa and connect the whisker pole to the clew. Hold the pole level. That's where the ring goes.

Thank you both for the quick responses. The track looks great. I will have to consider that. Peace!
