I'll have to measure mine but it's too long to pole out the jib. I tried to figure out how to make it extendable but then I just tied some sisters clips I had to it and the ring on the mast. Now I can slip the sister clip up and down the pole to adjust the length. So far, this arrangement works fine.

One day I'll attempt to use the spinnaker...

It lives under the cockpit along with the boat hook, boom shade, etc., accessed from within the cabin.

Cheers, Ian

My whisker pole is 2.23m OAL and it lives under the cockpit, or on a bunk when in possible use.

My wisker pole is a 30 mm aluminium tube which is 2100 mm long without the fittings each end and 2270 overall length and has an "almasts" sticker on one end of it which means it was purpose made by almast in Launceston where the original owner still lives . I would guess he had it made when he first purchased the boat.
