That seems pretty close. My 30 doesn't have track, but I've sailed on a
few that do. I'm not sure the 150% would be all the
way to forward end of the track. If I remember correctly that would be
near the cabin trunk. I'd be about a foot aft off that.
With a 170 you may need a turning block further aft to get a fair lead
to the winches.
170 is ideal in 0 to 10 knots or so. I don't have one, but wish I did
on more than a few occassions. I'm running a 145 most
of the time now.
I've tried a 110/100ish sail, I ended up rigging a barber haul to get it
in a little closer. The 30s are pretty fat where you would
have the block on the rail, so pointing is pretty much awful when the
sail is that small. I'd think a better idea would be a block
on a line so you could create a jib boom and get it hauled in about 3 or
4 inches from the cabin side might be a better answer.
I'd have to experiment more.

30-1 Listers-
If you could give me some tips on how you run your headsail sheets,
I'd appreciate it. My new-to-me 30-1 has what I assume are the
standard genoa car tracks, short and located well aft, outboard of the
cockpit coamings. In the documents that came with the boat I found
some notes from a previous owner saying the following:
* 170% genoa sheets run through the car at aft end of track
* 150% genoa sheets run through the car at forward end of track
* 130% genoa sheets run through block on rail forward of lifeline gate
brace
* 110% genoa sheets run through block on rail well forward
Is that how you all run your sheets? When if ever do you even use
your 170% genoa?
Note I'm familiar with adjusting fore and aft car / block location to
adjust sail shape for conditions, etc. I'm looking for the starting
points for running the sheets for different headsails.
Thanks,
Randy Stafford
