Not.
Just been reading about Florida and small boats in the creeks around the Keys (so shallow coastal cruising and well protected by mangroves etc) and the book mentioned the “power pole” being deployed.
I guessed what it was and google confirms it:
Power-Pole Homepage
So useful for shallow use in rivers etc but no use to sailors, but it was new to me and a nice bit of thinking by someone - easy to deploy, no mess, don’t know what force of current it would be useful up to, but there... I learn something new now and again.
