I started a similar thread a few weeks ago.
I take this opportunity to beg you to measure also the distance between end of pole to max halyard.
It could be interesting to evaluate also if different sailmakers have a different approach into the "EXPLOITATION" of the distance available between mast and pole.
I guess that the average distance between end of pole and max halyard is around 8,000 m (most likely slightly less).
in fact class rules fix max hoist at 7,500 m and max pole lenght at 3,500 m then square root of (7,5x7,5 + 3,5x3,5) = 8,275 m
