1. one telescopic section (1M40)
2. external twin-groove sections
3. connectors
* For OEM furling systems, delivered originally to the shipyard, the top section may be
shorter than 2 meters. For those systems, the top section is cut at a specific length.
Example : if you order an LS165 12M40, according to the chart below you will receive five
2-meter sections, one half-length section, the telescopic section and five
connectors.

2.3 DETERMINING WHICH SECTION LENGTH SHOULD BE USED
The example given is of a LS165 12M40, standard (i.e. not delivered to a shipyard), for a
forestay measuring between 10.4 and 12.4 metres. According to the table above, you will
receive: 5 two-metre external sections and 1 one-metre external section.
EXAMPLE No1 : your forestay measures between 10.40 and 11.40 metres (fig. A), you
do not need the 1-metre section.
EXAMPLE No2: your forestay measures between 11.40 and 12.40 metres, you do need
the 1-metre section (fig. B); the latter fits above the last section.
In both examples, the exact length will be reached with the telescopic section (fig. C).
