Forespar's new Velocity Series offers affordable two-piece telescoping carbon fiber whisker poles that quickly adjust to the necessary length with an easy-to-use line control system. Designed to maximize downwind sailing efficiency for racers or cruisers, these lightweight poles can be quickly deployed, adjusted, and retracted as needed with a simple pull of a line.
The Velocity series poles feature strong all-carbon fiber construction. This allows them to be telescoped to match the clew position of almost any jib, genoa, or asymmetrical sail. The pole's length is easily adjusted to fit using Forespar's new 2:1 line control system which is partially led to the outside of the pole for quick location. This ultra-smooth system allows the two pieces to be quickly and securely extended for deployment, or retracted for storage, by almost anyone onboard by simply pulling and cleating the adjustment line. Once fully retracted, Velocity poles are easily stored on or below the deck using only a minimal footprint. They can also be vertically stored in front of the mast using our optional track and car pole storage system.
Line Control™ is a proven concept in telescoping whisker pole design. So unique, that full patent protection has been secured. Line Control™ is only available on Forespar® whisker poles. The system is simple and makes the extension and retraction of poles quick and easy. And most amazing of all...the entire operation can be executed while standing at the mast. It is no longer necessary to go forward or to adjust buttons of any kind - simply uncleat the line and extend or retract (never attempt to adjust while under load). It's quick and easy even with the largest poles. Topping lift attachment points are on all poles.
