On a Blade the 800mm rule equals a pole length of 3.45 meter.
So in case you want to race under Isaf or Texel rating this is max. But I don't think you will notice this small difference.

Hi Geert,

Where this distance comes from? If I calculate things correctly the beam will be behind bulkhead at station 8. The distance between stations is 30 cm and the first was 25 cm, thus the main beam is from 2.35 m from bow so with 800 mm the max pole length would be 3.15 m. Actually the wave piercing bow will add 5 cm to bow length, so max length would be 3.2 m.

This is of course from memory and I can't measure things today =)
