Genoa too long-luff?

Now that the Genoa track is clear we decided to put the old jib sheets on the Genoa until we purchase new ones

We unfurled the Genoa and then our troubles began. First the furler line jammed or was already jammed up in the furler. It was getting late in the day also. We both had worked all day and then worked on the boat. This was supposed to be an easy last thing to do  Not so. After putting on the sheets we could not furl the sail. It was windier than we thought and we were tired. We decided that the Genoa looked like the luff was too long. Hmmmm.


 We took the Genoa down and flaked it out on the starboard side deck.
We called Chip at Hyde Sails today and he will be coming over tonight to re-measure the sail and make any adjustments. It can be shortened by a couple inches at the top and bottom without any major work.
