Steve,
	You are losing me on this set up.  I cannot adjust the luff on
my GBI furler.  The only thing I have are the sheets.  The Furler is
fixed both at the top and bottom.  I can loosen or tighten the back
stays a little, is this what you are referring to?  Can you draw me a
picture?  I have the IMF.

"But when I had the GB furler, there was a trick I use to tighten
the luff.  I use the screw at the top as the base screw.  But at the
bottom, I did NOT use the screw.  I use a rope and based on the wind
speed, I could
tighten the luff.  I tied it to the eye where the screw was suppose to
go, lead it down to the base of the furler (mine had a hole in the round
flat base at the outside and inside closer to the tube) I ran the rope
luff line to the inside one and tied it off.  Used some white electric
tape to rape around the line several times to make it solid & tight.  At
the 15 mph
wind range, I made the luff very tight.  Loosen it for lower wind
speeds.
