I am looking for a used #1 to get me through this season. The largest genoa I have is a 135% and would like to have a 150 to 163%. The problem is I have a roller furler. I don't need to furl this sail but I would like to be able to hoist and sail it with the furling system in place. A genoa cut for a non-roller furler will probably be too long and I'm told that recutting one to fit on the headstay with the furler attached is not practical.

You can use a headsail with a full length luff.

Remove the two screws that secure the feeder to the foil, hinge the feeder open and remove it from the foil, allow the halyard swivel to drop to the top of the furling drum, replace the feeder on the foil, and fix in place with the two screws. You'll probably need to apply some penetrating oil to remove the screws from the feeder. You may need to soak the hinge pins with penetrating oil, also. If you're lucky, it'll be five minutes work.

I have a UK Ultra for sale with about 20 races on it. Would let it go for $500 plus shipping.
