I was wondering the same thing. The pole does look a little higher than on the Blade: http://www.formula16.org/component/optio...ageViewsIndex=1

I can't really see how your pole is mounted to the bridles, but it looks pretty close to where the bridles meet, whereas on the Blade it's about a foot below that (with a compression strut to lower the tack of the jib).

I don't really know the pros and cons of pole height, but my instinct is that you want it as low as possible to reduce the heeling force for a given sail power.
