Excellent whisker pole
Great product, fully adjustable so can set at required length, adjust length to stow on stanchions during sailing, and fully retract to stow safely below after a sail.

Quality
Top quality, very stable as a boom for my 25 m2 genoa and my 59 m2 gennaker beam reach.

Whisker Pole 2500-4500mm
1. the shipment was quick, only a few days and it arrived to my home, the pole was secured with a wooden stick and well packaged, so no damage
2. tried the pole during our summer sail a few times, works great especially when going straight downwind at 180 degrees and flying butterfly sails, the genoa is about 30m2

2 knots more are fun
I'd long considered whether a boom would be beneficial on a Bavaria 31. I'm currently sailing in Croatia, and it's been a real joy. The genoa now opens up fully, which provides 2 knots more propulsion in butterfly mode or with the genoa alone. The boom is great to handle, robust, and perfectly adjustable thanks to the extendable mechanism. I highly recommend it.

12011 Telescopic tree 2.0 - 3.8 m model no. 7693001 15 m²
Nice stable quality!
Removal for my 28m2 Code 55 (Genoa) on 24 foot trimaran.
Up to wind force 3-4 Bft, this 40mm telescopic boom will stay on a downwind course because the small tri then runs approximately as fast as the wind and therefore exerts little pressure on the telescopic boom
The locking points are easy to find because they are indicated by drill holes directly in front of the actual drill holes.
But generally wouldn't push it out on the very last hole.

In line with expectations; Well packaged but a bit tedious and expensive to deliver. The engagement of the adjustment knob can be a bit cumbersome. This would help a milled auxiliary line.

Unfortunately, we have not used the Ausbaumer yet, so we can only evaluate the product in a limited way.

I use the expander as an expander.
I hope the locking bolts are good
functions.

Good, would have been 5 star if the end-fittings were well aligned with each other.

Sharp price increase compared to 2021
A price increase of around 90 euros for the same product from 2021 to 2022 is difficult to accept, although I understand that raw material prices have increased.
