Where do people put the whisker pole when it isn't being used? I've just been putting mine on the floor of the cockpit, but it has to go under the mainsheet and away from the centerboard hoist, and sometimes it can still get tangled in one or the other.
I've seen whisker or spinnaker poles stored on the side of the boom on some boats. A short length of PVC tubing attached at the back end of the boom (parallel to the boom) and a padeye near the front end of the boom (like the one on the front of the mast) is kind of what I was thinking about. But I wanted to hear about what other people have come up with.
Sorry if there is already information on the forum about this. I thought I had seem some a long time ago, but I couldn't find it when I searched.
Thanks,
Mike Shadley
