Especially useful sail on a stiffer boat like the 30 MKI, probably usable to 15 apparent on that boat

Frerker Sent: February 26, 2013 12:09 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Subject: Re: Stus-List Considering a New Genoa The use of 170s was popular here in the midwest as well. The old rule was to keep the power up front; use the biggest genoa and reef early. With PHRF some switched to 165s so they wouldn't take the full hit.

In western LIS canvass is king, a 155 is worth the six seconds.

The 135 I have is very sufficient. And anything bigger in over 10 would have us overpowered. But the problem is the non-spinnaker racing. Wing on wing downwind in a dying LI Sound breeze can be painful with a 135. I didn't contact UK because they are usually higher priced. But I'll give them a shot. Still, the more and more I think about it, I may be better off overall with my existing 135 -- including the 6-point PHRF credit. All the best, Edd ------------------------------- Edd M.

I would think that a 135 would be plenty big. I can only sail my full 155 during light wind (10kts max) On very rare occasions have I ever had a need to furl my 155 to less than 100. When I do, it is only to help pull the nose around during a tack. The sail is completely ineffective at actually propelling the boat because of the bulk on the luff. You will get a better, more effective, shape from a 135 when furled in to 100 and might even be able to sail at as low as 75. Josh Muckley S/V Sea Hawk -- Want to email me privately?

Your boat is so easily-driven, I would have thought you could easily make do with a 135...even in the vacuum called Long Island Sound. I'm thinking/hoping that I may be able to make do with a 110 here in Newport. We are just talking about cruising, after all. The journey is the destination.
