Andy,
I'm sure that you can obtain a carbon fiber spinnaker pole; see website : www.hallspars.com for reference.
The carbon fiber poles can be painted with Awlgrip or other high performance paints, Hall evens shows prices for the painting. When will you receive your new sails? Are you buying a spinnaker also?

Re: Carbon Fiber spinnaker poles
Yes interested Andy. Also am interested in pole storage on the forward face of the mast to keep the decks clear. Does any one know of a source for the old mast track in a suitable length to add to the face of my 1982 Proctor Spar? It's a broad (maybe 2-1/2 inch) based track, riveted on, on each side of the main track (not down the centerline like currently available mast track) and much stronger under lateral loading. Have been looking high and low for years now for a suitable length but have never found it. Keep hoping that as time goes on and masts get replaced (occasionally) that something will show up on the junk pile--so far no luck. Cheers. Bill

Re: Carbon Fiber spinnaker poles
Harrison, Thanks for the heads up. Checked their website andthere was no e-mail address, but I did make a phone call and they apparently have had a fire-severe enough to require a telephone answering service. Left a phone number but it sounded like they deal primarily in new gear and in volume. Will keep you posted when I learn more.
Spell Check still not working.
Emoticons apparently not either.
rig rite
Bill,
I had to call 2-3 times last year to get a real person. I then gave them the parts #'s from their website that I needed and they faxed back prices. Small qty. didn't seem to be a problem. I didn't purchase the items but may call them back now that I've thought about it again.
