A Birdsmouth Spinnaker pole

We had a visit from Alan,a friend and customer,he saw this spinnaker pole and enquired about it? I suggested he lifted one end while I lift the other,his comment was 'Who needs carbon?'



This one is 5.5 meters long x 90mm diameter,it has a hollow inside section and is made from eight oregon pine staves we machine with end tapers,when weighed against a similar length pole made from alloy tube,the wood pole is actually lighter,its a heck of a lot cheaper too! We can supply these as self assembly pre-machined kits or laminated and ready to varnish and paint.
