Ifyour luff length is under 50' (15.25 m) but your LP is over 131/2' (4 m), use 1852.If your luff length is under 80' (24 m) but your LP is over 28' (8.5 m), use 1899.Sail must be fitted with a special luff wire or rope designed for furling. This wire or rope musttransmit torque of furling unit to head of sail. Your sailmaker may need to shorten sail luff slightly toaccommodate length of drum and swivel. Some sailmakers add Velcro® to clew of sail to hold it in atight roll during storage.A Staysail furler makes it easy to set or strike a staysail because sail goes up and down wrapped ina tight roll.
