I was talked out of adding the foam luff when I order my sail. I wanted to have 
it and my sailmaker recommended against it. I don’t miss it one bit. It is a 
135% and I fairly regularly sail furled down to about 90%.

 

Just my $0.02.

I’m going to be ordering a new furling 135% headsail for my LF38, and would 
like everyone’s input on whether or not to pay the extra $$$ for a foam luff.  
In the past, I haven’t relied much on furling, knowing that regardless of the 
foam luff (or not), a furled sail’s shape isn’t going to be ideal.

 

Thoughts?
