My boat doesn’t have a factory installed mast plate/eye, attachment point for the spinnnaker pole.
I won’t use a classic spinnaker (have the assymetric/gennaker) but bought a Pfeiffer extendable spinnaker pole for use as a whisker pole. Will be using the pole mainly with the selftacker. My question is; at what height from the deck should I fix the mast plate? What height from the deck is the factory plate and what height would be ideal for whisker pole for use with selftacker. I read somewhere, ideally a pole should be horizontal? Any experience, specifically with poling out the selftacker ? Best regards, Peter

Based on the experience of polling out a self tacker on my last boat (essentially the same rig) I managed to find a second hand extending pole for the 418. I've just had a rigger fit two rings for the pole (Selden supply as a set of two). Ive had one installed at gooseneck height and the other just above guardwire height. I haven't tried them out yet but have no reason to think they won't be suitable. Polling out a 105% genoa and a self tacker helped a lot on my last boat |

Ha - I am in the same situation
Got a peiffer telescopic whiskerpole and got a peiffer mount. But luckily I had the mast on shore before drilling holes for the mount. Instead I will mount a track and a spinaker pole slide. The great advantage is that the slide/wagon can be removed an will not catch the selftacker sheet. I got 1 meter track but will install aprox 50 cm in the centerline of the mast. Still have not found the correct height yet. |

Thanks for the reply.
Good point about the cable trays/tubes on the inside of the sparctaft mast, didn’t know they were there. Peter

Is size 2 be good enough for spinnaker pole as well as the whisper pole? Is there much force at this point? Thanks.

For a Hanse 400 and spinaker pole size 2 is perhaps not strong enough. A whisker pole alone does not need size 3.
Using a wagon makes it possible to get optimum setting every time. Remmen our masts are not suited for a single bracket because of the 2 cable ducts in the mast. Centerline attachment is the only way
