Gentlemen,
<br>
<br>The pole length is fixed in the (draft of the) rules. It is fixed at the length at which it most forward point is 0,8 meters passed the very tip of the bow. This rule is part of the Texel rating system aswell as the FFV system and I think the ISAF small cat system. In any case the same rule applies on the F18 and iF20's. This is the means reason for having the same rule in the F16 HT. Side effect is that this limits excessive leehelm.
<br>
<br>Still this rule is also open for input.
<br>
<br>And what is the " Gate" ?
