I use Mercerized Cotton Sewing Thread for my Furled Leaders, cotton is strong and will last...

I have published on FAOL a couple of articles on my "Big Furled Leader Formulas" peg positions are calculated in inches and in centimeters... I have give CD's to Members of FAOL who have asked for this CD.

I believe that cotton is the best product for doing Furled Leaders, the result is a a Furled Leader that is parabolic, and the leader has no hinge effect between the five segments of the furled leader...

Changing the slope of the taper of the furled leader can give you more at the butt or it can be move forward to the tip.

Anyone who does have one of my "Big Furled Leader Formula CD's" have setup their own website using my CD as the model...

All you have to do is contact me at parnelli@comcast.net ; one will be in the U.S. Mail the next day (no charge for the CD or the mailing cost)
