Selden Telescopic Whisker Poles

Seldon's telescopic pole has 4 length settings when deployed (design length). The pole can be extended to both 25% and 150% of its design length, a must when poling out a large genoa or a gennaker. It can also be telescoped down to 80% of its design length for easier stowage. The jockey pole reduces the loads and minimizes the wear on guys and lifelines.

Anyone who's sailed a boat knows that it can be a lot of work. But with the right tools, it can also be a lot of fun. That's why having a whisker pole on board is essential.
A whisker pole is an adjustable pole used to hold out your jib or genoa when sailing downwind. It helps keep your sails full and helps make sailing easier and more efficient.
The Selden telescopic whisker pole is made from high-quality materials and designed to last. It's also easy to use; simply attach it to your boat's mast and adjust it to the desired length. When you're not using it, the pole collapses for easy storage.
So whether you're an experienced sailor or just getting started, the Selden telescopic whisker pole is a must-have for smooth and effortless downwind sailing.

Is a Whisker Pole worth it?

Whisker poles enhance the cruising experience in various ways by preventing the jib from flapping and getting filled by the main sail, leading to improved boat handling and a more comfortable ride.

Do you need a topping lift on a Whisker Pole?

Whisker poles require a topping lift to uphold their weight, particularly in light wind conditions. Without support, gravity will cause them to sag and move backward on the jib sheet. The topping lift maintains the pole's level position and enables improved sail shaping.
