[C38] Headsail Luff conversion

[Max Soto]

Hi there,

I just saw  their web page, and found a lot of used sails that will match my 
boat.
I'm considering this as a good option, but first of all, I guess I'll better 
install the furler and measure my max. luff lenght. My unofficial lenght is 
around 48'.
