I'm looking at getting a used 110jib (hanked on) for a 1982 FK/TR. The jib I'm looking at is a 110 from a Standard Rig Catalina25.

Should I be able to use it on my tall rig without cause for concern ? I'm assuming the luff is three feet shorter, etc.

There is nothing to be concerned about with using a SR 110 jib on your tall rig. The luff difference is only about 2 feet between the SR and TR, and if your think about it, the jib you are considering is about the same luff length as a TR sail on a furler.

I have a SR rig 150 and have used it many times. To me it's like having a TR 135 in my inventory.

One of the neat advantages of using a SR 110 on your tall rig is that you can install a 2' bridle between the tack corner of the sail and the stem fitting. This gets the foot of the sail up 2' and you will have much better vision forward.
