I have a MKI Harken furler and I'm ordering a new sail for it. I was wondering if anyone knows what size luff tape it uses?
I'm surprised at how little information is available about the MKI. The only thing I found on the Harken site, usually a very good site for information on their products, was how to identify it. Next to nothing on the rest of the internet.
I can find no data on Harken's site for MKI furler. The closest they have is MKII. I bet that it is #6 luff tape because most of Harken's are. However, it's impossible to say with certainty because no data is available.
I'll probably cut off a peice of the luff tape from the old sail for an example and or take some careful measurements.

I'd read his article on the furler maintenance but didn't see the reference to the manual. Thanks for the link. I thought it would be #6 but there's just enough doubt because everyone knows ALMOST all the Harken furlers use #6.
