FORESPAR
UTR-300-UXP Complete Pole, ULTRA Trigger One End/ULTRA Piston Other, 3" Pole Dia., 13'6" Kit Length (with Ends)

Forespar® offers a complete and diversified line of spinnaker poles. They manufacture eight complete end styles from which they create a multitude of combinations to fit the needs of all sailors—racers or cruisers.

Forespar offers "customized" poles built to specific dimensions, and also "kit" poles in which both ends are left loose to allow the marine dealer or yachtsman to finish the pole himself. End fittings and tubing are available separately for those who wish to assemble poles to their own specifications.

Standard Spinnaker Poles have a double bridle topping lift/foreguy system. Unless otherwise specified, all standard poles are supplied with the throat (jaw) facing upward. Require a Forespar Ring Style, Flange Style or Toggle Car.

Determining Pole Length

The length of your spinnaker pole is determined by the yacht's "J" measurement. This is roughly the straight line distance from the front of the mast at deck level to the headstay. The "J" measurement is available from your sailplan, or contact Forespar to assist you in determining the proper length.
