The multi 140 would most likely be a better sail for light
air then the medium weight 150 you have now

Yes. Is Kappa local to you? You can get a generic sail like
this, it's been long enough that the technology has filtered
down to the mail-order 3rd-world sweatshop suppliers, but
IMHO a local sailmaker is worth some more money... will be
able to fit the sail properly and should be able to make a
better recommendation (for example, would you want a 145
reefable down to 130 or a 140 reefable down further?); also
will demonstrate how to set it for varying conditions as
well as hammering out any problems.

Here is North's version (the evil empire):

I have not seen a North 'rope luff' which sounds heavier
than foam. Also they have a fancier panel layout, Kappa's
"parallelogram" sail just looks like an old fashioned miter
cut to me. Not that that's bad.

One thing to remember about these sails is that they replace
two sails but are not really a whole headsail inventory in
one. My observation is that they suffer when reefed more
than 10% and at 20% are just as bad as an old single-weight
non-contoured sail.
