How To Use A Whisker Pole For Better Sailing, Part 2 | Ep. 131

Описание: If you are sailing downwind, you can greatly improve both your speed and control by using a whisker pole. In this Part 2 video, I walk through step-by-step how to install a telescoping whisker pole on a modern cruising sailboat. I explain all of the hardware and mounting techniques required to ensure the pole will be strong and stable. I also walk through each of the steps we follow to safely deploy the pole with both a jib and a Code 0 sail, with footage from onboard our 44 foot sailboat Sea Rose.

If you have not already, be sure to watch Part 1 in this series, where I explain the many benefits of a whisker pole, as well as how to properly select the right pole for your sailboat.
