Posted By: Pete M P-23 Date: 5/1/09 11:36a.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: I doubt you'll have to worry about over extending the pole (Brian, Precision 23, Lake Lanier, GA) the gen foot length. This will position the clew about midway between the tack and the mast (athwardship). Works when on a dead run or within 15 degrees either side. Higher on the wind, shorten the pole for more draft.
