Hello Everyone,

Well, Tomorrow I will finally be ordering my new 135% rolloer furling Jenny. But before I place my order, I thought it might be best for me to check in with the knowledge bank concerning luff foam. I have no personal experience with it but from what I've read it sounds like a good idea to have for better sail shape while reefed. And I think a 135 will reef down to about 110 if I guess correctly. Please let me know. Thanks again.

Check your RF and see if it compensates for flattening the sail when you furl it. My Furlex does this by having the foil do a partial rotation before the tack starts to rotate thus flattening the middle of the sail. It's pretty ingenious and does a good job.
