Whisker Pole for CD25

Post by FL Dan »

Hi, I just got a 133 Genny for my CD25 and want to set-up a whisker pole. I got the Forespar 7-15' pole and it looks like it will be good but having some trouble with the ring for the mast. I thought I'd go with a fixed eye rather than on a track for simplicity (appreciate any thoughts on that decision). I got a Ronstan RF41 Spinnaker Pole Ring Curved Base but the diameter of its curvature is way to big for the mast. Is anyone aware of any rings that would fit the mast? I may just go with the track if I can't find one. I'm assuming that eitherway, tapping machine screws would be the way to go to attach the ring or track (thoughts?).

Thanks so much and Happy Thanksgiving!

A fixed ring should do fine. Check with Rigging Only and/or Defender for ring that will match your mast.
I know somebody has to make them because that's what I had on my last CD25.

Also might check RigRite. They have a good breakout on Spartan spars, dimensions and associated hardware.
