[Rhodes22-list] Topping lift and whisker pole

[Rik Sandberg]

Rob,

Yes, but, as I recall, Roger's topping lift was meant mostly for use 
with his spinnaker pole. Spinnaker poles are usually much bigger and 
heavier. a topping lift for the forespar 6-12 is kinda overkill unless 
you really are that worried about getting everything adjusted exactly to 
the knats hair.
