I'm looking at a 125% genoa for an O'day that has a 28' luff

I think the C25 standard rig has an I number of 29'

then you got to figure some room for the furler, basd, fittings, masthead wire...

anyone know the longest luff you can fit on a C25 comfortably?

I am guessing that 28' is too much

thanks

28ft is too long if you have a RF. I think mine is around 27.4 Attach a tape measure to the RF swivel and hoist it up then measure down to the attachment point on your drum.
