Yes but Mr Goss is not planning to use one of Andre's fine craft - he is planning to use a couple of 6m Humbers.

But said Pole is now fitted with suspension, perhaps Humber should take note, could be the future

I think the yacht Team Phillips mounted a Nav light on a pole on the bow of their port hull.

Yes, I was going to ask the very same question. What happened to them, I wonder?
