[Rhodes22-list] Boat Hooks

[peter klappert]

Could you explain how the pcv attaches--or send a photo. We've been using the extending boathook as a hand-held pole for the headsail, but it slips out of the clew easily & I worry about long-term damage to the sail. I'd be glad to hear more about your setup.

One telescoping pole with a snap on head. We use a brush, LED light 
attachment & snap at the end of our boat hook pole. Because the pole 
adjusts to a short length the scub brush on the deck is useful. We also 
have a home made attachment that holds a small LED flashlite that has 
come in handy extended out over the water looking for mooring, under 
docks, etc. Finally, we have an attachment (snap) for the clew on the 
headsail to help hold in out when we are runnung with the wind 
wing-n-wing. We installed a short piece of PVC tube at base of the mast 
that holds the end of the telescoping pole in place i.e.spinker pole.
