Hi Fred....I have sailed in 30k winds with just a furled jib....wonderful, comfortable sailing. A partial jib alone is a great sail plan....as long as you don't need to point and and the mast isn't pumping....the mainsail supports the mast...if needed....--==>Spencer1894 Landfall 38 "Alegria"

The nice thing is that it is easily removed and replaced/reduced/increased. It is also more flexible so it will not hold a shape and will articulate with the sail fabric betted. Just my observations and opinion. I've had 1 new sails with foam, an old sail with rope and a new sail with rope. The rope or the foam is designed to take up the belly of the sail when its fuelled. Without it the sail will act as though it is blown out while close hulled.

The smaller sail is easier to handle and still moves the boat very well. Plus, I rarely feel overpowered. Your boat is the same hull as mine, but your mast is a couple of feet shorter, so I would probably go about 125%. Even at 120%, it?s a large sail with a 20? LP, 1000 square feet!

June thru August, if we can get three months off. So there's a good chance we will try to make the rendezvous August 5-7. Hard to say for sure now - as they say, cruisers plans are written in sand at low tide. But we should definitely sync up on plans in May/June! Also I'll be doing a haul-out at Seaview from April 15th for about a week, so if I don't see you before then, I can give you the 3/8" epdm foam I promised then. -Patrick S/V Violet Hour On Thu, Mar 17, 2016 at 3:00 PM, <cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com> wrote: > > From: "svpegasu...@gmail.com" <svpegasu...@gmail.com> > To: "cnc-list@cnc-list.com" <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > Cc: > Date: Thu, 17 Mar 2016 11:08:52 -0700 (PDT) > Subject: Stus-List West coast rendezvous > > I am planning on sailing to Desolation Sound in July and stopping at the > Rendezvous on the way home to Seattle.

I wanted to have it and my sailmaker recommended against it. I don?t miss it one bit. It is a 135% and I fairly regularly sail furled down to about 90%. Just my $0.02. Marek 1994 C270 ?Legato?
