Fred, On my 38 Mk2, I opted for a 120% headsail with no foam. The smaller sail is easier to handle and still moves the boat very well. Plus, I rarely feel overpowered. Your boat is the same hull as mine, but your mast is a couple of feet shorter, so I would probably go about 125%. Even at 120%, it’s a large sail with a 20’ LP, 1000 square feet!

I’m going to be ordering a new furling 135% headsail for my LF38, and would like everyone’s input on whether or not to pay the extra $$$ for a foam luff. In the past, I haven’t relied much on furling, knowing that regardless of the foam luff (or not), a furled sail’s shape isn’t going to be ideal.
