Or, more likely, I mis-measured the luff (try sitting in the forepeak with a 6' tape measure, it's 35 degrees out, measuring a little bit at a time!). It does indeed look to be the standard IM lapper from Odyssey (my suspicion all along). That explains why I have to take it down when the wind is 20 kts! Looks like I'll have to find a small jib to go with it (along with the drifter I was planning on).

Many thanks Judy!
