<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>
