Installing a telescoping whisker pole requires mounting a T-track to the mast, typically using threaded bolts coated with a corrosion inhibitor like Lanacote to prevent galvanic corrosion between the aluminum mast and stainless steel hardware.3:11 A Force Bar all-carbon 13-to-24-foot pole requires roughly 15 feet of track, positioned to allow for vertical storage.1:39 The setup necessitates a toggle car with a UTS fitting for the inner pole end, a vertical pole car for mid-pole support, and a fixed mast chock at the base.3:41 Control lines include a pole lift (topping lift) attached to a bridle on the outer pole end and a foreguy led to a centerline pad eye on the foredeck.6:38 For deployment, the crew sets a broad reach, engages the autopilot, and manages the pole lift and foreguy from the cockpit while a crew member on the foredeck secures the headsail sheet into the pole jaws.11:21 Proper tensioning of the foreguy and pole lift is essential to prevent pole damage during sail trimming.14:34
