Tell the loft you want to convert the sail to roller reefing/furling.  They
will need the make and model of the furler so that the luff wire will be of
the proper diameter.

You can specify SunBella or Dacron for the sacrificial fabric on the foot
and leech.  The Sunbrella, is heavier and will last longer but in my
estimation is not appropriate for smaller headsails.  The Dacron which will
last half as long is better from a performance standpoint.
