Russ Cambell, CD36 Nutmeg in Tenants Harbor, Maine has also converted to a tiller.

If it's only a whisker pole you need, it appears they recommend the HD 6ft to 12ft with a padeye at the mast (i.e. no T-track). There are also recommendations for spinnaker poles, but that wasn't your quest...

Sorry, can't help you with this one, but for everyone else's knowledge, Walt started the California Cape Dory Owners Association back in mid-1990s. It is now defunct. Good to hear from you, Walt.

Hi Ken,

Click on the area in Red, not the V-Card in yellow. If you click the V-card, you will only see what information is already entered. Oh, and make sure you scroll down the page.

Aside from loud obnoxious people, halyard slap is the single most annoying issue in a lot of anchorages. Before I went rogue and bought a CD28 power, I would run the halyards out around the spreader and back to the mast. That keeps the halyards way off the mast. Jim's theory about the topping lift h...
