I'm ordering a Doyle UPS spinnaker http://www.doylesails.com/cruising/ups/index.html and need a maximum luff measurement I'm hoping someone already has. I need to add a spinnaker halyard then measure from the head attachment point to the bow roller where the removable furler will attach. It would be great to have the measurement so I can order the sail and rigging all at once. Thanks.

Certainly any respectable sail loft would have that luff measurement.

If you'll open the link below and than the link to the brochure PDF it will give you the spec's including the "I" (it's 33' 4") which I believe is the spinnaker luff.

If you're looking for the spin halyard length I'd contact Beneteau customer service at 843-629-5300. They were able to give me a PDF which had the recommended sizes and lengths for all the running rigging on my First 310.

I'm sure they could also verify the spin luff for you.

Hey Andy,
Good choice with Doyle. I got a 140% roller furler Quick Silver headsail this season from the Champlain loft. This is a reduction from a 150 - awesome cut - pointing much higher than before and much better when the wind kicks in. Let me know how your new rag works out. I want one for my First 285 - maybe a folding prop first cuz thats always less drag in any breeze.
