luff

I'm currently collecting quotes on a new storm oriented jib, and since the sail will hang on a foil, the question came up as to whether I wanted a foam pad in the luff. Here's what's important to keep in mind. Emerald is a cutter rig. This sail would actually be my staysail, which has a...

Hi everyone. I'm listing a Doyle Genoa sail that I purchased for my Ericson 38-200 that does not fit my boat. The previous owner stated that this sail was for an Ericson 38, and that it came from an Ericson 38, but there is not much way it would have fit. Perhaps it's from a 35 or 34, but...

I am trying to find some used sales in good shape however I don't know the length of the luff. I would messure it but the boat is in florida, and I am in Canada. The boat is a 1987 Ericson 34 with a harken unit 2 roller furling. If anyone knows the luff length please let me know as I am...

:esad:I had a tree fall on my E25 while it was on the trailor in the driveway. The mast took the brunt of the impact. As you can see from the pictures the mast luff track was damaged. I live in East Tennessee where the number of trusted experienced folks to repair this type of damage is...

hi there Went to the marina today with the plan of hoisting the sail up the Harken furler on my boat. My question is the luff has two ropes sewn into it and the foil on the furler has to slots which i assume accept both of these small ropes? I am having a bear of a time getting them started...

I've always thought it might be useful to carry a trysail, but also thought it should be able to be raised without having to use the existing luff groove. I can't imagine doing that single-handed under the conditions that this sail would be employed. I'm thinking it should have the capability of...

On my new main from Q I occasionaly get a chattering along the luff similar to when your leach line is too loose. Seems to be most pronounced on reaches. I was wondering if the spacing on the luff hardware was correct? Any of you sailmakers out there know what the optimum spacing is? They guy...

Hi all, Can someone clarify luff tape terminology for me. I have older Furlex furler and in the users manual indicates that slots in the furler foil are Ø6 mm (that's a zero with a slash through it followed by 6mm). The notes recommend a max Ø5mm luffrope/lufftape (max Ø4 mm "hard line")...

I have a Tuff Luff System with 46 feet of extrusion that is for a #5 Luff Tape or #12 Rod. I paid 300 and I believe it is worth around $550. Email me at wurzner@yahoo.com if you are interested. Shaun

Anyone know the size of the luff groove on one of these? I am at work doing what I do best, cruising the internet looking at boat related stuff and I dont know the size. Guess I'll look at harken's site. I am looking at some used sails at www.baconsails.com and wonder if they will fit in my luff...
