That seems to be the recommended size for my boat too in a RF sail. I'm a
bit reluctant to give up the 150 for those light air days, of which we

a fair number on the Sound even in the Eastern end.
For light air you should have a light 155, and maybe keep a 140
multi-weight or foam luff on the furler. A 150 is giving up enough area to
be noticable, plus is likely to be some sailmaker's concept of a "heavy
#1" which is not a good light air sail. Better than a 140, prob'ly, unless
the 140 is specifically built for a wide range of conditions.
