  • Poled out for Downwind Speed
    Page 1 of 10 Installing a Track-Mounted Whisker Pole by Carolyn Shearlock, copyright 2006. Published in Cruising World, May 2006, as “Faster, Easier Downwind Sailing.” Available as a PDF on TheBoatGalley.com. ¿Qué Tal? sailing downwind between islands in the Sea of Cortez. The inboard end of the pole should have been set slightly higher, so the pole is perpendicular to the mast. Installing a Track-Mounted Whisker Pole By Carolyn Shearlock Cruisers often bemoan the fact that they just don’t sail as much as they would like. The wind, it seems, it always on the nose or dead astern. A little over a year ago, my husband Dave and I installed a whisker pole on our Tayana 37 ¿Qué Tal? and more than doubled the amount of sailing we’ve done, as it has made it feasible to sail with the wind astern. Further, it better balances our sail plan, often allowing us to use our Monitor wind vane while going downwind. The trick in putting a whisker pole on your boat is to make it easy to use. A line-control pole mounted on a mast track is simple to deploy and stow for almost anyone, as the pole can’t get away from you and the pole’s weight is supported by the rigging. Although push-button or twist-lock poles or ones stowed on deck are cheaper, it’s a false economy if the pole isn’t used because of the difficulty in setting it.
