The rules link on the tuning page doesn't work. How long should my jib pole be? [img]smileys/smiley18.gif[/img]



And how do I get the "No More Gaps" expanded foam out of it!

Rules are on www.rya.org.uk/KnowledgeBase/technical/Pages/classrules.aspx
Rules are:
11 HEADSAIL POLE 11.1 The overall length of the headsail pole including fittings shall not exceed 1830mm. 11.2 A headsail pole may be used to sheet the headsail to windward or to leeward. No part of the headsail pole or its fittings may extend more than 50 mm outside of the headsail clew.
As for removing the No More gaps I cant help other than buying another bit of ally tube and transferring the fittings. If you are making a dangly pole then 2m of ally tube from the local hardware shop is about Ł7. Probably the most cost effective option.

Thanks-much appreciated! Have an old Graduate jib pole in the garage (they've gone carbon!) so working on that while waiting for Speed to deliver the big bit. Mast and jib pole gone in the same race. [img]smileys/smiley19.gif[/img]
