We rarely used the 155 on the C&C 32!


But what do people who know how to sail do?



Well, let's see.....the J29 owner rarely flies his big genny, the new
C&C 32 owner is using a 135%....even my friend's J30 typically only
needs a 110%.
Dave, how often do you need a 155%??? We sail just fine with a 110%
(and a rather tired sail at that) in everything over 6-8 knots of wind.
Most mastheads around here have a RF 135-145% type sail and it's quite
common to see them out reefed down or with no main up. Oh, and
according to Mark at Doyle, he flew a 110 on his Beneteau 36.7 most of
the time.

You guys simply don't know crap and this thread is really proving it!!!
