Well Mike Hoyt, I sail in Nova Scotia too, St. Margaret's Bay mostly good winds, 15-25 apparent from SW most days and I have a RF Doyle 135% crosscut, 8 oz with tuff luff, high cut and if or when I ever buy another new head sail for Allianna, my old 35 MKII, I will definitely be going for less than 135%; in fact a good 110 is what I think would suit me just fine...there are a lot of advantages to a smaller headsail, and IMHO very few for a larger LP headsail if one is just out for a fun sail in such conditions as we mostly have around here in summer/fall, cruising for fun in retirement I mean but for racing I would be lost without a 150 when the apparent drops below about 15 kts, I know that, but who cares, it's sort of nice some days to roll a similarly rated boated to weather while sailing single handed when that other boat is overpowered and wondering why Alianna is so fast...on a 33 II, a very stiff boat, maybe a 135 would be a good all purpose sail but the crew, husband and wife for example will have to work harder and I bet one of them would likely wish for a smaller headsail most of the time
