Doyle says the maximum luff length for a genoa on a 23.5 is 24 foot 4 inches. I fly my existing jib with a 1 foot pennant above the deck. Question is has anyone put a larger 25 foot or greater luff length furling sail on a 23.5? Will a 25 foot 6 inch sail work?

You should measure your boat. Also, if you intend to add a furling system, the max luff will be decreased by the length of the furling system hardware. If Doyle says 24'4" I doubt that a 25' luff will work unless you have the wrong mast on the boat.
