I want to add a roller reefing to my Irwin 25 which I am redoing now. Can I use the current sail for the new set up? Not sure what to do at all...

Sail Conversion

Normally, you can convert a hank-on sail to a furling sail by removing the hanks, bolt rope and grommets;sewing on new luff tape; and recutting the sail to fit the furler foil. Whether you want to do this or not depends on a number of factors: how good is the condition of the sail and how much do you want to spend on the conversion? Unless you are capable of doing some of this work yourself, you may want to look into buying a very good used sail that will fit your furler or just springing for a new sail.
