Edd..
My simple thinking is that you have to roll up at least the length of the
foot of the 150. So why not measure the sail and then mark the line and
wind that much onto the drum. When you put the sail back on, puling on the
line should wind it up correctly
I probably would add a foot
Mine is nearly a 1:1 ratio and I usually keep a minimum of 3 or 4 wraps on
the drum (~2ft). Then the add the length of the distance from the drum to
the desired termination (~35ft). Then add the length of the foot. A 150%
will be about 24 ft. So 65ft should be sufficient. Remember that you hav
Make sure the line leads out of the drum 90 degrees to the forestay. If yours
doesn't move the first block up or down until it does.
Second, it's a lot easier to wrap the sheets around the furled sail to get the
correct number of wraps.
Buy extra line.

Josh,
Fntastic! Thanks. I bought 80-feet of line and will wrap 27-28 feet or so
around the drum. That should do it.
You da man.

If able, measure the old line you cut off to get a rough idea of how much
line to buy. Total up the pieces. Then raise the sail with no new line
around the drum. Roll up the sail by hand again with no line attached to
the drum. Now attach the new line to the drum with the sail fully furled.

Those 2 rolls by hand will be on the "wrong" way as the only way to get them on
the drum is to rotate the sail and furler. I think the better way to get the
extra rolls on the drum would be to wait to attach the line to the drum until
the sail has been over furled by hand several times. I am th

you pull the furling line it will roll up the sail. Just like normal.

Jonathan,
You are correct there isn't a direct correlation between furling line
length and foot length. As I previously stated mine happens to be roughly
1:1 averaged over the entire furl. I am simply visually approximating the
diameter of a full drum compared to a full sail roll. You're right
I do it the way Josh recommends. I also put the maximum amount of line on
the drum. It's easier to furl when the drum is full (the line is coming
off a larger diameter full drum) than when it's less than full. Also, keep
some tension on the furling line when letting out the jib, also

Once you get the length figured out, get rid of the core for that portion that
will be on the drum. The cover can handle the load and it lies nice and flat
in the drum. No more tangles...

Just replaced the furler line on Pegathy. 145% Genoa on an LF38 80' of 3/8
double braid. Works well, 10' tail when unfurled, figure 8 to hold the line on
the drum. A bit more than a half foot of stretch under load when reefed, I
figure. That's less than a half turn of the drum. I figure that if

I'm really low tech - hoist the sail at the dock, connect the furling line
.. roll the sail up by hand (by manually rotating the drum) .. go a few
extra turns - to someone else's point, undoing jib sheets later is easy if
need be.
You guys are overthinking it :)

Never heard of removing the core. Sounds stupid! I could see stripping cover.
If the line is as long as the boat, you are probably OK.
