Luff Tape • Tack and Head Shackles • Suncover<br />
■ Sail Type<br />
The <strong>Harken</strong> furler will work with conventional sails or<br />
sails with built in shaping devices such as Aeroluff<br />
®<br />
,<br />
Pirini Luff or foam luff.<br />
■ Luff Length<br />
Note offsets above and below the sail.<br />
A shorter luff may be required if a halyard restrainer is<br />
necessary (page 30) or a toggle or link plates are used<br />
(page 8) below the furler to raise the drum.<br />
If the luff of the sail is not long enough to put the<br />
halyard swivel near the top of the headstay foil,<br />
make sure a pendant is added, see page 30.<br />
■ Tack Setback<br />
Note setback for the tack shackle and cut the sail<br />
accordingly.<br />
■ Luff Tape Size<br />
Unit 1 requires number 6 ( 6 /32" or 5 mm)<br />
luff tape.<br />
■ Luff Tape Length<br />
Cut off the top of the luff tape so it is 18 to 24" (450 to<br />
600 mm) below the head of the sail. This will allow the<br />
head to lag behind the rest of the sail to help flatten<br />
the sail. It will also help the head to roll more smoothly.<br />
Note feeder height and extend the bottom of the luff<br />
tape downwards so it is below the feeder. This will prevent<br />
the luff tape from catching in the feeder as the sail<br />
is lowered. *The 32" (813 mm) minimum pertains to<br />
shortened bottom foil installation, see page 13. Other<br />
installations will have a minimum feeder height of<br />
37 1 /2" (953 mm).<br />
■ Tack and Head Shackles<br />
Make sure tack and head<br />
shackles fit the sail rings.<br />
The minimum inside<br />
A<br />
dimensions of the standard<br />
head and tack shackles are:<br />
(A) 1 1 /16" (27 mm) and<br />
(B) 1 /2" (13 mm)<br />
■ Suncover<br />
B<br />
Suncovers may be installed on either side of the sail.<br />
However, make sure you match other sails in the customer's<br />
inventory.<br />
