Hi, I was wondering if any one could tell me what the best technique for mounting a whisker pool is. I have an adjustable pole, twist lock forespar. I want to be able to pole out the jib and fly wing and wing down wind. The time's I've tried it, I've had a difficult time getting the pole hooked up. I usually hook to the sheet, and then try and attach the pole and set the length. This doesn't work to well. A couple of specific questions I have are:
1. Would I be better off with a line control or a fixed length pole?
2. Should I use a topic lift on the pole to help control it and keep it from sliding down the sheet.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated. We usually sail double handed, or with our 4 year old, so flying a spinaker is out of the question.
thanks everyone,
