LINE CONTROL™

50/50 CARBON/ALUMINUM "COMBO" WHISKER POLES

These Line Control™ Whisker poles offer just the right blend of aluminum and carbon structures to provide the racing or cruising sailor weight and cost savings. They have the strength and weight savings of carbon on the inner tube and the abrasion resistance, durability and cost savings of aluminum on the outer tube. They also feature Forespar's exclusive "Ultra" end fittings (UTS socket inboard and UTR trigger outboard) for further weight reduction and ease of maintenance.

"PATENTED" LINE CONTROL ™ WHISKER POLES

Line Control™ is a proven concept in telescoping whisker pole design. So unique, that full patent protection has been secured. Line Control™ is only available on Forespar® whisker poles. See the chart below for pole lengths and tube sizes. The system is simple, and makes the extension and retraction of poles quick and easy. And most amazing of all...the entire operation can be executed while being positioned at the mast. It is no longer necessary to go forward to adjust buttons of any kind - simply uncleat the line and extend or retract (never attempt to adjust while under load). It's quick and easy even with the largest poles. Topping lift attachment points are on all poles. Attachment to outer end is with end fittings jaw facing down.
