Hi there, been lurking here for years, finally have a question no one's asked before
I want to get a second headsail to match my current headsail (135 Genoa from North Sails) so I can downwind shorthanded more easily. However, I'm 1500 miles from my '87 First 375. Hoping to head down to get it and bring it north next month.
I've noticed many First 375 from my era have the same roller furler, from Harken. It has two tracks on the forestay.
I know the measurements of my headsail. What I don't know is what size luff tape I need. Anyone with the same boat/furler know what size luff tape the track takes?
Thanks much!
