<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Do be careful on luff tape sizes as the
requirement varies from each furler manufacturer. Number 6 is used almost
exclusively with the new Schaffer Furlers, but I have seen #5 and #8 used too
with other manufacturers and old systems were more variable. My A-37
uses #6 on a Schaffer. Size of boat is not really a good indicator - call a
sailmaker for specifics. Too small a tape will pull out and that would be a
mess likely resulting in a jam, too large just won't fit. </FONT></DIV>
