David,
I have not measured it, however I can offer the following. Awhile back I compared the luff length to my #4 (90) and it was 8-10 inches SHORTER which surprise me. Suspect the required tack/foot mods will be on the smaller side. You will have to change the luff tape as it's current a gemini type. We've just left for Catalina for a week, so I won't be able to ship it for about 10 days. Dan
