Much simpler when talking to > your crew to say "bring up the #2" as it is usually stamped on the bag On both my boats, the bags have been labelled 135%, 150% , 100% etc. Different sailmaker's approach presumably. For me, I intend to eventually stop using the 150 (current #1 ) and my new sails will be a 135 plus the 100% I already have. That would make my #1 a 135% and #2 a 100%. Or maybe you would call my 135% a #2 and I would not have a #1? Thus my suggestion that a % designation is more meaningful as a way to talk about this. > > From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of David > Knecht > Sent: Wednesday, October 09, 2013 10:44 AM > To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com > Subject: Re: Stus-List C&C 34 > > Interesting discussion.
