Whisker pole attachment location

[CAM]

Go to the Flicka site, grab or print the rig/sail plan
Draw the sail you will be using with the whisker pole
Draw the LP (luff perp, start from clew and end at forestay, perp to forestay)
Draw a horiz line from about mid-LP back to the mast.
That's about where the butt of your pole should go. Within a foot is probably good enough.

Yep, you want the pole near horizontal when flying. You will want to adjust the tip up and down a little with a foreguy and topping lift to get the correct twist and leach profile, if possible.
