◊ by a whisker, within a whisker šnek. @ per plauką;

A whisker pole allows boats to sail deeper angles with the genoa without the genoa getting caught behind the main sail. This is advantageous not only to the racing sailor sailing downwind but also for cruising sailors looking for and easier and more comfortable ride off the wind.
A common question is “what is the difference between a whisker pole and a spinnaker pole?”. The most obvious difference is that whisker poles are used for genoas and jibs while a spinnaker pole is used for a spinnaker. There are other differences as well. Whisker poles are sized to match the size of the foot of the sail that they are working, while spinnaker poles are sized to match the distance from the mast to the bow, also known as the boats “J” dimension. Because of this, Whisker Poles tend to be signifficantly longer than spinnaker poles for the same boat. To help accomadate storing a long pole, many sailors choose to use a telescoping whisker pole. Telescoping whisker poles also have the added advantage of working with multiple sails and on any point of sail or wind speed. A telescoping whisker pole can also be used as a spinnaker pole when set to the boat’s “J”dimension.
