The locking knobs of a Telescopic Whisker pole are made of Delrin and after many years in the sun they tend to become brittle and eventually they are sheared off. For this reason, we have created replacement kits of knobs, springs, rivets and a drill-bit.
Telescopic Whisker poles have been in our product range since the 80’s and they are still popular amongst cruising sailors to project a genoa more efficiently to the wind. They come in three sizes and these replacement knobs are for the medium size featuring ø72 mm and ø60 mm aluminium sections.
On a side note - the thinner end of a Telescopic Whisker pole is supposed to be towards the mast. This way the locking knobs are always within reach.
