A spinnaker pole or a whisker pole.
Its called a mast. hope i helped :)
The vertical pole is called a "Mast". The horizontal poles (on 3-masted ships for instance) are called "Arms" or "Yardarms".
Presuming you are referring to a gaff-rigged main sail, that diagonal pole would be the boom.
Pole
the north pole to the south pole?
Amundsen set sail in the Fram for the North Pole in 1910, and while at sea, altered his destination to the South Pole.
Mast

The vertical pole on a sailboat is called the mast, but at the bottom of the sail is horizontal pole called a boom. On the Tall Ships, the horizontal pole AT THE TOP of the sail is called the yardarm.
