I ran a 15 foot pole with a 460 sq. ft chute on my P-19MX. I used a strut under the bridle to hold the pole down and then tied the jib off to the pole. The pole was carbon with spreaders under it. It was low to the water, snapped it once in a post hurricane swell during a New England 100. After that I ran a piece of Spectra from almost the end of the pole to the highest point under the jib luff and tied it off to form a preventer. The extra sail area is awesome ,it's a shame to reduce it.

If a man is to be obsessed by something.... I suppose a boat is as good as anything... perhaps a bit better than most.
