I have a hunter 23.5 and am looking for a jib sock for my furler. Can anyone tell me the proper length I will be needing??? Any directions on where to find a good one??

I'd try either http://www.sailrite.com or ATN. I'm not sure of the web address for ATN, but Google ATN spinnaker sock and it should show you where you can find one. Sailrite also has kits and products to make your own if you're handy at sewing.

strobeone, are you sure you want a jib sock? If so, best of luck but consider a UV shield strip sewn directly to your jib. Downside is it makes the jib a little heavier (but not too much if you have them use the white material) and it'll have to be replaced every few years. IMHO, the jib sock can be a hassle too. It'll require the use of an additional halyard to run it up (spinnaker halyard?) I've seen them flap incessantly and get shredded in a thunderstorm - maybe the ones I've seen were not properly sized though.
If I've misread your Q my apologies.
