My primaries are Barient 28. My secondaries are Barient 23ST. I like to use my secondaries for genoa sheeting when single-handing when the wind isn't too strong. Barient 26 should be good for you. I do dip pole gybes. I use the primaries (forward on the coaming) for the afterguys, and I use the secondaries for spinnaker sheets.
