Just a Whisker

New toy turned up in today's post.

In the absence of a spinnaker, I want at least the option of polling the genoa out and goose-winging on a downwind run.

We do have a spinnaker pole, but it's terribly heavy compared to this.

3m of 41mm extruded aluminium. Hopefully man enough for the job. All we need now is a bit of gentle wind to try it out with.

Doesn't look like that's going to happen this weekend, with F6's and 7's in the forecast for Saturday and Sunday when I last checked yesterday evening.
