Joe:
I would take into consideration the conditions you usually sail in to
help determine the size of the jib.
Our boat came with lots of sails but no #2. For the first 2 seasons, we
sailed with a radial cut 150% dacron. Many days here in the Summer, the
wind is out of the SW and averages around 15 knts (true) by mid
afternoon. I found the 150% to be too much sail most days.
Sold 3 sails (main, 150% cross cut dacron, and a new 155% North 3DL) and
then had the Doyle loft here produce an 8.3 oz. dacron 135%.....good for
23 knts true says the sail maker....I don't think I have ever pushed it
that hard. The 135% provides for a much more comfortable day on the
water without any loss of power.

My furling jib is utterly beat. I think a bedsheet would have more shape.
So what size say you all for a replacement? I am thinking going a
little small, say 130%, and flying the chute asym style for light air
off the wind.
