Fidelis is currently at the marina down the road after competing in the Sydney Hobart and i am amazed at the size of the spinnaker poles on her deck

I paced it out and reckon the poles are around 7.5 meters long and about 200 mm in diameter

Just wondering if any of the forum members have sailed on a boat like this and what it is like gybing the spinnaker

I assume it has lazy sheets that would make it a bit easier but i imagine it is still hard work with gear this size
