I'm surprised that the sheeting angle and therefore pointing is worse than a 155. Even if the 145 touches the shroud, the 155 would have also.Both with the SJ24 I had and now the 30-1, I can point higher with my smaller jibs; my smallest on the 30-1 is a 140.I usually choose not to point too high because it's slower. I have the shoal keel and sailing a little fatter seems to make the best forward progress upwind.RonWild CheriC&C 30STL

I was talking to a respected Quantum loft who knows my sailing area well. He is recommending a 144.9% genoa to get the 3 second PHRF credit. I am now concerned I won't get the pointing I need / want. Is it significantly worse than a 155% on the 35mk III? --JonathanIndigo 35mkiii On Oct 19, 2012, at 18:22, "Jake Brodersen" <captain_j...@cox.net> wrote: Dennis, My #2 is 142%. It’s darn near a #1.

A very successful racer friend of mine told me you never change down to a #2, you will always go to the #3. That seems to be true at least 80% of the time. I run a 3 sail program but rarely use the #2. I have 155, 125, 95. However, because wind force increases with the SQUARE of the speed, I really wish my #2 was bigger, like a 140 or 135. The boat always seems underpowered with the 125.
