Continuous furling line - 

Talk to your rigging supplier about furling line construction using a structural cover over 

a nonstructural core. Note: Have the rigger capture the aft block in the loop before making the loop. The furling line 

loop can load into the stanchion leads and the drive unit after the line is spliced into a loop. 

Determining furling line length - 

Refer to the chart below for line size and length. Double the loop length and add 

enough length for the overlap in the end-for-end splice.
