I’m in the process of ordering a new headsail for my CDI furler .
My UV strip is on the starboard side of the sail when it’s fully unfurled , the loft tells me it’s usually on the port side . Most of the videos I’ve seen it’s on the starboard side but not all . Just want to make sure PO didn’t have it wrong before I go dropping 2 grand on a new sail.

You may want to check with CDI to see if they require the line to exit the drum on a preferred side. As you can see from these posts it can vary. I have a Furlex and it requires the line to exit the drum on the port side when looking down on it or else the furler won't work properly.

My setup had the furling line running down the port side and winding onto the drum from its starboard side, which made sense to me for the angle of entry into the drum. That meant it wound onto the drum counter-clockwise (looking down), so the sail wound onto the furler from the port side, so the protective strip was on the port side of the sail, which ends up on the outside as it is furled. That's what determines the side of the strip--the way the sail is furled, so it's on the outside of the roll. It can be either way, and it is on different boats.

The line does run down the port side and goes around the drum on the same side . There were a couple things that weren’t setup right when I got the boat so I just started overthinking it I guess .
Thanks

If your furling line runs down the port side of the boat then the UV cover is usually on the starboard side of the sail. Mine is this way with the UV cover on the starboard side of the sail. The furling line is usually always opposite the UV cover but that's not written in stone. It depends on how the line is wound on the drum. If in doubt just have it put on the same side as your old sail.
