A small boat requires a shorter pole, while a larger boat requires a longer pole. Diameter is a major function of strength. A 2-1\/2\u201d diameter tube is as much as 70% stronger than a 2\u201d diameter tube. The force created by the headsail can cause a pole to bend or break if it is not the right size.<\/p>\n<p>Every Forespar\u00ae pole is custom designed for each type of boat based on the J dimensions, the length from the headsail pin to the front of the mast. Labels on the whisker poles note the maximum length boat that can be used for each pole.<\/p>\n<p>We strongly suggest you use our size recommendations when selecting the pole for your boat. Forespar\u00ae cannot offer any warranty on poles that are too small for the boat. Here\u2019s a link giving you recommended poles for each brand of boat. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.Forespar.com\/whisker2011.shtml\">http:\/\/www.Forespar.com\/whisker2011.shtml<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>If you have any further questions or need replacement parts, please contact us at sales@forespar.com.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tweet Q: What length Forespar\u00ae\u00a0whisker pole I should buy?
