Spinnaker Pole Chocks |
|
|
Spinnaker Pole Chocks are used to
store a Spinnaker Pole, Whisker Pole
or a Reaching Strut when not in use.
Poles are frequently stored in various types of Chocks on Deck, on the Mast, or on the
Stanchions.
Deck-mount Pole Chocks are commonly mounted on Deck along the rail, but sometimes on the Cabin Top
or Side.
