What needs to be considered in this discussion of best sails for pointing, vmg,
etc., is where and why you are sailing.

you may outpoint a 12 meter with a 90% headsail--but good luck even approaching

Speed isn't the only thing that matters. Compare your VMG with two
different size sails. Even if you were to sail slower with a smaller sail,
but point higher, you could get around the course faster with a better
handicap. You can sail with jib alone, but with much less power. When you

My 35/3 was up to a knot faster with a 155 over a 135 in 6-8 knots of
wind. I would never cruise with that sail! If I were building a cruising
jib for it I would probably go with a 120.
Fee advice. You get what you pay for!

Alan, I am glad to hear you do well with the 105; I have always heard that our
boats get their power from the headsail, and was thus reluctant to go below a
130; however, if I understand your experience, you do as well with a smaller
headsail as with a larger one.I notice most, if not all o
Joe:
When I first got my boat, I raced with a 155. It kept back-winding the
main, so I tried using a 135 with better results. I gained six seconds in
handicap, and there was no noticeable reduction in speed. Then I tried
racing with a 105. I gained another three seconds; I sail just as fast,
I believe I have said switch and it controls two neon lights under the
ceiling panels. The panels are held in place with velcro.

It works in many different conditions and I can furl it down to about 90

Yep, I almost bought a windex light and then realized that the tricolor

Hello,
Have just re-joinrd the list after several years away.
We have a 1978 34' and are starting a search for a good used cruising main.
Wondering if any of you might have a suitable candidate (E= 10'11", P= 38'3")
that you'd be prepared to sell?
Thanks,
