Spinnaker Pole Storage

Storing poles (whisker or spinnaker) vertically up the forward face of the mast has become very popular. It clears the decks and keeps the cruising sailor from having to lift the entire weight of the pole from the deck to the mast car.

By combining the Forespar VPC-125 T-Track Storage Chock with the fixed MPC Mast Chock with a running T-track system similar to the one shown to the right, you can create a highly effective vertical pole storage system. Selection of the proper mast car and inboard end fitting combination is critical. Ring style cars will not allow a pole to hang vertically without binding and eventually breaking the end fitting.

Forespar® does not recommend ANY ring style mast cars for vertical pole storage.
