If I recall correctly you can use the rule of X: 125/10 = 95/x
x= 7.6

Not that I even claim to know, but how does the math work? 125% jib has a ten foot pole. 95% jib has a ? foot pole?
I hope someone comes up with a better answer.

Techno nerds
Got a slick 95% jib that I'm making a whisker pole for. The class 10' pole is too long.
What relation does the pole length have to the LP of a sail. BTW I'm using the tried and true system of trim a bit, sail a bit, then trim some more till it looks about right. lol.
