■ RETROFITS, FITTING ROD
If you plan to reuse the existing rod and turnbuckle:
Lower End—If you are using a standard Navtec turnbuckle
with integral toggle, the lower body must be replaced with a
standard Navtec marine eye body. Check to make sure that
this eye will mate with the Harken integral toggle. Two cross
pin sizes are available. They are the same size as the clevis
pin. See above.
Upper End—You must take apart the marine eye so that you
are left with a threaded nosepiece. Check to see if this is pos
sible. If necessary, contact Navtec or Riggarna for correct pro
cedure. You will slip carbon foils over this threaded nosepiece.
If you cannot remove this fitting you will need to cut the rod.
■ HEADSTAY LENGTH
Note: When cutting rod to length or making up new rod, make
sure that you can take apart the rod terminal (usually the top
eye) so that you are left with a threaded nosepiece.
Make up the rod headstay or adjust the turnbuckle so the
Harken toggle fits below the rod terminal eye. The pin-to-pin
1
distance of the Harken toggle is 3
/4" (83mm).
Note: The 2.5 Carbon furler has an integral toggle. No
additional toggle is required below the furler.

■ FOIL CUT LENGTH
The Carbon 2.5 furler has an integral toggle. No additional toggle is required below the unit.
To check the foil length, lay foils alongside the stay before cutting top foil. Make sure
that turnbuckle is set to desired length.

■ TOP FOIL CUT LENGTH
Instructions for worksheet below:
1 Fill in total pin-to-pin headstay length.
2 Fill in A length.
3 Adjust B length if necessary.
Note: There must be enough space between top of carbon foils and bottom of rod
terminal to allow for turnbuckle adjustment. As turnbuckle is adjusted, terminal is
pulled down towards top of rod. If no turnbuckle is used, there only needs to be
1
minimal space—
/2" (12mm)–between the carbon foil and rod terminal.
We have put 4" (100mm) as a starting point. This may need to be adjusted based
upon how turnbuckle was set when headstay was measured. If there is less than
4" (100mm) “take-up”, less space can be left and vice versa. The space between foil
trim cap and bottom of turnbuckle must be more than “take-up” on turnbuckle.
4 Add A, B, E and subtract from total pin-to-pin headstay length. SUM = _________
5 Choose the number from foil multiplier below closest to, but not greater than,
sum from step 4. Fill in D length.
6 X 72" = 432 6 X 1828.8mm = 10972.8
7 x 72" = 504 7 x 1828.8mm = 12801.6
8 x 72" = 576 8 x 1828.8mm = 14630.4
9 x 72" = 648 9 x 1828.8mm = 16459.2
10 x 72" = 720 10 x 1828.8mm = 18288.0

IF YOU HAVE SHORT TOP FOIL
If top foil is less than 8" (203mm) do not use a recessed top connector. The top foil must
be at least 4" (101mm). If it is less, shorten the upper 72" (1.83m) foil to make the upper
foil 4" (101mm).
CUTTING TOP FOIL
Once you have checked the top foil length by laying foils alongside the rod, use a sharp
hacksaw to cut top foil. Tape foil and cut along tape. Sand bottom end of the foil so it
is square and to remove any carbon burrs. Lightly sand inside of foil where it will be
bonded with 220 grit to remove any grease or mold release agent.

PREPARATION FOR ASSEMBLY
Tape outside ends of all foils using blue masking tape. To
make sure tape edge lines up with end of foil, extend the
tape over foil end. Use a sharp razor knife to trim tape even
with foil.
Coat rod with mold release agent or wax to keep epoxy
from adhering.
Heat rod terminal and remove threaded screw and threaded
nosepiece. If rod terminal has been upset (peened), follow
Navtec or Riggarna procedures for removing peening.
Tape threads of nosepiece and tape nosepiece so it will not
slip down foil when pushing it back out.
