Re: Stus-List To foam or not to foam...
Not sure how a piece of line would keep a furled sail flat, as it should be. I see the wisdom of a foam luff. I regularly see furled sailed in highs winds with a big belly to them, exactly what you don't want cf course. If I were buying a new sail, I would definitely have a foam luff or plan on head sail changes when the wind pipes, which is what we do.

Fred: I got a new Doyle 135% 8.3 oz dacron.I specifically ordered a foam luff.the sail maker, whom I know personally, ignored my request and left out the foam luff.said the sail would work fine with out it. If I didn't like it he would take the sail back and put it on. Do I miss it, no.can I furl the sail down to 100% - 110%..no problem at all. Just my experience!

Re: Stus-List To foam or not to foam...
I have had a foam luff in my last 135 for 10 years and loved it. I ordered the same in my new headsail. It seems like you can furl it down to about 100% without losing much shape.

Re: Stus-List To foam or not to foam...
Fred, On my 38 Mk2, I opted for a 120% headsail with no foam. The smaller sail is easier to handle and still moves the boat very well. Plus, I rarely feel overpowered. Your boat is the same hull as mine, but your mast is a couple of feet shorter, so I would probably go about 125%. Even at 120%, it’s a large sail with a 20’ LP, 1000 square feet!

Re: Stus-List To foam or not to foam...
Have to agree. For my area, I’ve been a huge fan of 120 + main for cruising. On a landfall the 135 may be the better option and I would probably pass on either foam or rope. I’m basing that on the assumption that the landfall will reef later than most but I’ve never sailed one so don’t really know. At 150 I would definitely go with something to take up the extra fabric but would let the sailmaker decide between the two options. Both work well so it’s whatever they’re more comfortable with.
