Putting a profurl headsail roller reefer on a 27 footer. Is it necessary
to have luff foam or rope for reefing on a sail this small? Some
sailmakers say yes, some no. Any direct experiences?
Thanks

Essie has a Profurl NC32 furler, Genoa built by North Sails. No foam or
other "bulker" in the luff, works just fine. YMMV.
