Bon Soir Bruno - summer is coming!
Yes, agreed 100%. I don’t have a setup for the asym so I do it old school,
(sock and snatch blocks) which is a bit of a hassle and kind of a deterrent
single handed. Great for light air as you say, and magic when those conditions
are stable I’ve sailed so
Dave, thanks for sharing the measurements. (I think your no1 and 3 are
inverted).
I understand your most used sail is your 114% (a small no 2 in your inventory).
And I agree that tacking a 140+ genoa is not fun singlehanded and that a
heavily reefed/furled sail is not very efficient.

I do have #3 genoa (maybe 100%) which is older but hardly used, and in

Hi Andrew,
We cruise and race our 33-2 in eastern Quebec since 2011. We have a cruising
laminate 110 for stronger winds, the boat can sail very high with this sail but
in anything under 10 knots you want more sail area. We also have a racing 132.
Why not 135... because we can sheet it in front
Why not a 155% Genoa if you are racing?
