Tuff luff or Harken headfoil to fit my masthead. The old one shatered during the last race, so i'm after a replacement.

Cheers

Gordon,

I got a new one from Headfoil in the U.S. 6 months ago, to replace my worn original Holt unit.

They charged me a list price of USD360, plus shipping (variable) of USD 62 - Which is 250 quid. Compared to some Tuff Luff quotes I got, it was a bargain.

The model I got was an HF2-20/36C - Came in a pizza box. Twin groove for peeling (as if....). The guys there were very helpful (Rolf Lagerquist) - Headfoil.com

Peice of cake to fit - no terminals to be undone - mast stays up - measure 4 times, cut once etc. and zip it on.

Only downsides - its very sensitive to luff bolt rope size - My No.1 is a Number 5 luff and is very tight in the groove. my No.2 & 3 are a Number 4 luff, and easy in the groove.

Also, the stock prefeader below the track entry is not very big / sofisticated - I retained my old '2 balls' version and use that.

Maybe not what you have in mind pricewise if you're looking for anything second hand - but may be useful for comparison.

Cheers,

Take care with foil size, I used Tuff luff 1200 (the smallest one) on Minx and lots of headaches reference luff tapes and pulling out of pre-feeders. Had to get luff tape changed on every sail with at £75/sail adds up. Would have been better to have gone for 1700 which is more normal luff tape size.
