Harken 1080 MKIII Jib Reefing & Furling - Manual (Page 11)

Sailmaker Instructions
Luff Tape • Tack and Head Shackles • Suncover
April 2000 Unit 3.25 MKIII 6
■ Sail Type
The Harken furler will work with conventional sails or
sails with built in shaping devices such as Aeroluff ® ,
Pirini Luff or foam luff.
■
Luff Length
Note offsets above and below the sail.
A shorter luff may be required if a halyard restrainer is
necessary (page 30) or a toggle or link plates are used
(page 8) below the furler to raise the drum.
If the luff of the sail is not long enough to put the
halyard swivel near the top of the headstay foil,
make sure a pendant is added, see page 30.
■
Tack Setback
Note setback for the tack shackle and cut the sail
accordingly.
■
Luff Tape Size
Unit 3.25 requires number 6 ( 6 /
32
" or 5 mm)
luff tape.
■
Luff Tape Length
Cut off the top of the luff tape so it is 20 to 30" (500 to
760 mm) below the head of the sail. This will allow the
head to lag behind the rest of the sail to help flatten
the sail. It will also help the head to roll more smoothly.
Note feeder height and extend the bottom of the luff tape
downwards so it is below the feeder. This will prevent
the luff tape from catching in the feeder as the sail is
lowered. *The 34 3 /
4
" (883 mm) minimum pertains to
shortened bottom foil installation, see page 13. Other
installations will have a minimum feeder height of
42 1 /
4
" (1073 mm).
■ Tack and Head Shackles
Make sure tack and head
shackles fit the sail rings.
The minimum inside
dimensions of the standard
head and tack shackles are:
(A) 1 7 /
8
" (48 mm) and
(B) 13 /
16
" (21 mm)
■
Suncover
Suncovers may be installed on either side of the sail.
However, make sure you match other sails in the cus-
tomer's inventory.
