good eye, it's a 130%.

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 have
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.
