Preassembly
■ Adjusting Foil Length
The length of the furling system is matched to the headstay length by adjusting the number of
7' (2.13 m) foil extrusions used and by cutting the top foil to length from one of the 7' (2.13 m)
foils provided. In some cases the bottom foil is also shortened.
Consult the chart on page 20 - 21 to determine how many full length 7' (2.13 m) foils you need and save these.
You should have an additional 7' (2.13 m) foil to be used for the top foil which will be 7' (2.13 m) or less.
■ Foil Length - Special Considerations
The top foil is designed to ride 2
the turnbuckle allows, there is 2" (51 mm) of recommended adjustment in either direction. If the turn-
buckle is tightened more than 2" (51 mm), the foil length will need to be shortened. If you are using
a Norseman, Sta-Lok or rod eye, shorten top foil length
buckle will not be shortened much below the pin-to-pin length, add 1" to the top foil length. This will allow the top of
the foil to ride over the shoulder of the marine eye. It will also allow the halyard swivel to ride higher on the stay.
■ Find Your Pin-to-Pin Headstay Length on page 20 - 21 or 22 - 23 and follow procedures below as necessary.

If you make any cuts in the foils be sure
to carefully clean all shavings from
inside the foils. Failure to deburr or
clean the inside of the foils may cause
them to seize to the connector during
installation.
■ Roughing up Top Foil for Trim Cap
Rough up the top
a file or sandpaper.
■ Deburr the Foil
After cutting foil, clean all shavings from inside the foil.
Failure to deburr or clean the inside of the foil may
cause it to seize to a connector when it is being
installed.
■ Cutting and Drilling Bottom Foil
Consult the chart on page 20 - 21 to see if you need to
shorten the special bottom foil. If you do, use a hacksaw
to shorten the special bottom foil by 5" (127 mm). Make
sure you cut the end nearest the existing holes. Deburr
the foil after cutting.
Tip: there are two dimples in the bottom foil. The upper dimple is a
guide for cutting the foil. Wrap tape evenly around the foil so the top
edge of the tape runs through the center of the upper dimple. Line the
hacksaw blade up with this edge of the tape. The side of the blade
facing the lower part of the foil should run through the center of the
dimple.
Drill a hole using a
in the foil as a guide. The center of the dimple will be
