Hey Guys!
Finally got my Jib back from SailCare after converting it for use with my Snap Furler. I didn't think about the Jib Sheet length while waiting!?! Now that a number of coils will need to go round the furled sail what length do I need? My current single line (for 2 sheets) total length is 34 ft long. Will this be enough or should I go longer now? please let me know.:confused:

Should be long enough. You don't need exta sheet length. The longest position for a sheet is the lazy sheet, not in the furled position.

How did you like Sailcare ? I've got a geneoa that needs to be shortened for my new furler and the hanks removed. Also does Sailcare clean the sail ? Can I ask what it cost you to have it converted ?? And did you have to have it shortened too ?
