I have a 4" telescoping pole that I believe is a Forespar. Ends not included. The inner pole is new, replacing the original that was broken in a race to Mexico several years ago. If interested, I can verify the measurements. Also, where are you located? The pole is in Daytona Beach, Florida and shipping would be somewhat problematic.

Hi

Located in Indian Harbor Beach FL. What length is the pole? What ends are on the pole? Who is the pole manufacturer ? What price do you have in mind?

Thank You

The pole is suspended from the ceiling in my storage shed and is somewhat difficult to access. But I'm quite certain it is a Forespar product and that it is the largest whisker pole they offer.

The inner tube was broken several years ago in a race to Mexico. Extending one of these poles with a big sail in big air and big seas is not a great idea.

The outer tube is 14' overall. The inner tube, 3.5" o.d., extends 17 1/2" beyond the outer tube when fully withdrawn. This is a little longer than the original tube, in that when it was replaced, this longer length was the closest option I was given as a replacement. It can easily be cut down if one desires.

End fittings are not offered with the pole. I removed the end fittings to use on a carbon fibre pole when I was lucky enough to find one on Ebay

Price: $800.00 plus shipping though, considering the length, shipping would be somewhat problematic.
