Please, Catsailors, enlighten me.
What is the optimum length of a spinnaker pole? Can it be too long? Too short? Just right? How can it be determined?

I have a 14' FG pole and a factory Spin for my Hobie 20. I need to know the pole length before I place the tang up top..
Thanx in advance for your expert advice.
