According to Geerts calculations the max pole length for SCHRS and Texel would mean 3.39 m pole for Blade. This has been usefull conversation for me because I was planning to go for full lenght pole and even though we do not have Texel/SCHRS here in Finland (at least not yet) it should be wise to follow rules.

At least with this pole lenght there is one Blade boom less for Mark to saw if he happens to pop into Zandvoort <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
