I use the same set-up as Jack and, hopefully, I can explain this so you will not be confused. First, I assume your furling board has 5 pegs. On the right hand side is peg #1 and peg #2. The tippet peg would be #3 and coming up from the tippet peg on the left would be peg #4 and back to the starting point is peg #5. Using Jack's figures you would have 42 inches from peg #1 to peg #2. On the left hand side you would have 74 inches from peg #5 to peg #4 and 32 inches from peg #4 to peg #3 which is the tippet peg. Does this help?
This will give you 42" + 32" + 32" which is 106 inches total length. If you then twist each leg and shrink them by 10.6 inches you would have a total length of 95.4 which when divided by 12" equals 7.95 feet for the total finished length of the furled leader. I hope this helps.

Fly fishing and fly tying are two things that I do, and when I am doing them, they are the only 2 things I think about. They clear my mind.
