Yesterday with the help of Clive we changed the jib carbo foil which got damaged two weeks ago when the A4 got tangled up in the forestay. We saved the A4 but the carbo foil got damaged and needed to be replaced. Fitting the new one was real hard, it simply did not feed in. We ended up using a hailyard to winch it up and also pushing by hand. We cut it at the same length 18.77m is the old one, but it's a bit short. It could be 20cm longer. The bottom should be 1.10m above deck.
The heat rising to 40C did not help, but it's in place finaly.
