Curtis I the sails are that old and you do plan to enter some club races consider going 135% and tossing the old sails into a storage bin and throw away the key. Find your area phrf adjustments to ensure the sail is not just over a threshold and go from there. In our area the standard boat comes with 155% headsail with no adjustment, up to 135 with +6 sec/mile, 110 or less with 12 sec /mile. Note that these adjustments are for MASTHEAD RIGS ONLY (ex. C&C 30-1) sailing with no spinnaker. There is an additional adjustment for masthead non spinnaker boats of a further +18 sec/mile.
A C&C Redwing 30 at our club went thru exactly your exercise a few years back. They ended up with a 135% furling headsail and dropped the old 150 hank on from their inventory. The 135 being new was far faster than the old 150 in all winds and also gave them the 6 sec/mile adjustment. Their overall happiness was thru the roof as they now had the convenience of a 135. My friends with the Redwing do between 5 and 10 club races a year mostly against other mom and pop boats like the C&C 30-1 (there are four or five at the club) and one other redwing 30. They had North Sails Atlantic perform the work and provide the sails and furling. Best of luck with this. You and your wife will LOVE IT!!!
