Re: Stus-List New sail purchase

Here on the West Coast a 150+ would be a waste 95% of the time and make tacking much harder to boot. I would go for the 130 or 135 as the multi-purpose roller furling sail. Later, get an asymetrical spin for really light air cruising. If you will be racing on a low budget, realize that you won

Re: Stus-List Dyneema baby stay
