Artie,
You don't say exactly what kind of Racing you're doing, If you're racing
with the hot fleet, it would be a good idea to get the fastest sail
possible
On the other hand if you are just racing with the back off the fleet and
cruising is just as important then you do have a choice to make.
I'll give you my selection and reason but that my selection and I can't
say it right. I sailed with a self furler, I finally settled on a Kappa
Cut 10-40 regulator 150% a damn fine headsail for most condition but a
light air sail it was not. I also had a cross cut drifter that I could
use in the track or when Cruising I'd fly it free behind the furled 150
Kappa cut.
Art, I raced in the Cruising Class and I had great fun. Best of all, it
made my crew commit to one nite a week to sailing. My goal was to stay
with the fleet.
Good luck on your decision.
