[Rhodes22-list] CDI or GBI?

[Mary Lou Troy]

If you are going to reuse the GBI furler, you'll need to replicate 
the attachment points. If you are having the sail made, I would 
unfurl your current sail, take good pictures of the tabs at the top 
and bottom and see how the luff attaches to the tube. On ours (if 
memory serves, it's been a while), I believe there was a luff tape 
that slid into a slot in the furling tube. If yours is like this, 
you'll need a similar luff tape on your new sail. I think older GBI 
furlers used a sleeve of some sort. Perhaps someone who has had 
their's apart more recently can elaborate further.
