Peter.. On the whisker pole.. What exact fittings do you use on the ends of
the pole to make that fit.. 
What hardware do you use on the mast ?? How high up did you place it ?? Did
you use a track ?Any issues with screw length to 
mount to the mast..
                               Thanks in advance
