Whisker poles are used to "wing out" the jib when navigational downwind. Sailors who have experienced downwind sailing without one can appreciate the value of being able to stabilize the jib, enabling the sail to work more efficiently.
Forespar® manufactures the finest and most complete line of Whisker Poles in the world. All Whisker Poles are constructed of high strength anodized aluminum tubing, and both telescoping and fixed-length models are available. Two styles of telescoping poles are offered - the Twist-Lock style and the Line-Control style.
Where wind conditions tend to be gusty, the double latch option is recommended to avoid accidental detachmanet of the sheet from the pole end (Twist-Lock style poles).
The sailboat table below is meant to be used as a general guidline for selecting the ptoper whisker pole. Shown are pole recommendations relative to the following three variables: Boat Length, Sail Choice, and Wind Conditions. |

Selden aluminium spinnaker poles give you fast and safe spinnaker handling. All the fittings have well-rounded edges to prevent personal injury and damage to marine equipment. The extrusions are lightweight and very durable, and are fitted with pole savers to shield the pole against damage from forestay and shrouds.

We have developed our own marine computer controlled manufacturing method in which prepreg (pre-impregnated) tows are wound onto a mandrel (cylinder) prior to oven curing. This method enables us to exercise full control over every stage of the manufacturing process and guarantee products of consistently high quality. One of the big advantages of this Selden production method is that it enables us to achieve sufficient durability in the areas subject to the greatest loads and wear.

Telescopic pole, can be extended to 150% of normal spinnaker pole length (SPL), a must when poling out a large genoa or a gennaker. It can be telescoped down for easier stowage.

Marström spars are used all over the world ranging from the Europe boat dinghy to the latest Americas Cup designs. We make all spars in a female mould using carbon prepreg. The spars are autoclaved in 125 degrees and at 6 bars pressure.
We produced our first carbon spar in 1985. Since then more than 4500 spars have left our factory. Our engineers and salesmen will guide the customer right through the project. We have a deep knowledge in load calculations as well as in designing custom fittings.
Our latest projects includes the mast for boats for the Italian AC Yatch +39. Estrella Damm and Safran are two IMOCA projects that use Marstrom Spars for the Vendee Globe and the Barcelona World Race. |

The past 15 years have seen a major shift in spar construction from aluminium to composites. The benefits of strength, reduced weight, durability and precision engineering offered by composite construction are now well established.

Hall carbon-fiber poles are manufactured using the same aerospace-quality, seamless construction process as our extraordinary boat masts and booms. Each pole is custom molded on a male mandrel then autoclave-cured to eliminate voids. Hall uses unidirectional, pre-preg carbon fiber for the pole's structure, resulting in maximum strength at minimum weight.
Hall Spars & Rigging spinnaker poles are made for intense navigational. Hall poles save weight on deck, are easier to handle (half the weight of aluminum), and are incredibly tough. Kevlar in key areas protects the carbon from chafe. |

Established in 2004, our One Design business is dedicated to supplying production rigs, from high performance dinghies for boats up to 60 foot performance cruisers. We apply the lessons learned at the grand prix end of the spectrum to create superb high performing consistent production rigs. Our tools are scientific analysis, sound knowledge and a passion for high performance yachting.
Southern Spars One Design is committed to producing high performance carbon rigs with an emphasis on value for money - spending money where it counts. The experience from 15 years of building the most successful custom carbon rigs in the world is being used in the manufacture and design of production One Design rigs. |
