We’ve got a 140% on a roller-furler rig and when we bought it and had old race-crew friends sailing with us it was great. 10 years later with just the two of us, not so much…
When the refit is completed, I’m going the same route as Andrew, somewhere in the 110% (+ -) range. And similarly, we’ll be ditching the symmetrical ‘chute and purchasing an asymmetrical in a sock. Should be perfect for us for cruising.
