<OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE WISKER-POLE FOR DOWNWIND HANDLING OF THE JIB-SAIL...& THE EVER-PRESENT INDISPENSIBLE BOAT GAFF (USUALLY 3 ON BOARD AS THEY OFTEN GET DESTROYED) FOR EMERGENCY FENDING OFF IN TIGHT MARINAS, OCCASIONAL FLOATING BODIES/OBJECTS AND GRABBING THE MOORING LINES IN THE SLIP AS WE END THE VOYAGE.
