Sailboat Whisker Poles

sailboat whisker polesWhisker Poles are used to "wing-out" the jib when sailing downwind. They extend between the mast and jib sheet at the clew to hold the jib out on the opposite side of the main in clean air, producing a greater degree of control and efficiency than you could possibly achieve without a whisker pole.

1. What is a Whisker Pole?

Whisker Poles are used to "wing-out" the jib when sailing downwind. They extend between the mast and jib sheet at the clew to hold the jib out on the opposite side of the main in clean air, producing a greater degree of control and efficiency than you could possibly achieve without a whisker pole. Sailors who have attempted downwind sailing without a whisker pole can appreciate the value of being able to stabilize the jib, enabling the sail to work more efficiently.


2. Advantages of Using a Whisker Pole.

A whisker pole allows you to control the shape and position of the jib on a downwind run, exposing it to air that is undisturbed by the main sail, thus producing a very noticeable increase in efficiency and boat speed. Sailing wing-on-wing is much easier than handling a spinnaker and takes less people to handle equipment.
