[Rhodes22-list] A question of size and shape (sails ye salty dogs sails)

Stephen:

I agree with you on the GBI furler.  Do you happen to remember the size of
the luff tape that fits the GBI furler with the grooved foil?

Thanks,
David Culp

I replaced my old 175 (actually Doyle said it measured 184%) 2 years
ago & decided to stay w the same size to optimize light wind
performance. Doyle in RI suggested adding a luff pad for better reefed
performance & works 1000% better than before. I also stayed w the old
GB furler 4 it's simple reliability & cost saving.
