I’m curious. Why must you reef the main at 12 knots with the 135, while you can
carry the full main and 150 to 15, and full main and 100 to 20? Rick

knots then I have to

generally trim the main by looking at the leech. and position of the boom.
Maybe Jake can chime in - it was his sail on my boat for Bermuda.

As others have said at such a heavy weight you probably won't notice a
difference between the tri-radial and the cross cut. I experience the same
thing with wines. A great wine doesn't distinguish itself from a good one
unless tasted side by side. A crosscut sail tends to stretch diagonally to

David,
When I added a 155 I was shocked at how much boat speed I gained over the
135 in light air. We also had the inboard jib tracks for use with the
155. The inboard tracks made for a very narrow slot, but it was fast if
you paid attention!
Its not you!

Rick — I don’t know if it will help you any, but I’ve posted a photo taken this
past weekend of my new Rolly Tasker 135 genoa on my web server. This was under
light air (maybe 6-8 knots apparent — I don’t have a wind instrument, so I’m
just guessing). It’s a cross cut design, and seems to work

Rick,
Have you considered that the boat show season is coming up fast and you will
likely be able to score a 15% discount if you wait and order at the boat show
I'm surprised it is only a 15% difference! What cloth is he proposing for
the tri radial? I would not go with a cheaper cloth and a tri-radial.
FWIW, The Office had an 8 ounce cross cut. You got a good look at it.

Rick,
Tri-Radials are just sexier.
There. I had to say it.
Seriously though, I’m a big fan of tri-radial sails. I have an old 140%

keeping its shape and performance. It hasn’t been used for years and is in the
