I use the 160% instead of a 170 and it's good up to about 20kt, but you do have
to drop the main traveler down and keep a bubble in the main along with extra
twist.Since I have the shoal draft, I sheet to the rail for everything. The
boat moves much better when I don't try to pinch. The shoal draft keel is just
not as efficient as the old shark fin and that seems less efficient than the
modern peterson type keels although both are more forgiving than the
peterson.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

That seems pretty close. My 30 doesn't have track, but I've sailed on a few
that do. I'm not sure the 150% would be all the
way to forward end of the track. If I remember correctly that would be near
the cabin trunk. I'd be about a foot aft off that.
With a 170 you may need a turning block further aft to get a fair lead to the
winches.
170 is ideal in 0 to 10 knots or so. I don't have one, but wish I did on more
than a few occassions. I'm running a 145 most
of the time now.
I've tried a 110/100ish sail, I ended up rigging a barber haul to get it in a
little closer. The 30s are pretty fat where you would
have the block on the rail, so pointing is pretty much awful when the sail is
that small. I'd think a better idea would be a block
on a line so you could create a jib boom and get it hauled in about 3 or 4
inches from the cabin side might be a better answer.
I'd have to experiment more.

30-1 Listers-
If you could give me some tips on how you run your headsail sheets, I'd
appreciate it. My new-to-me 30-1 has what I assume are the standard genoa car
tracks, short and located well aft, outboard of the cockpit coamings. In the
documents that came with the boat I found some notes from a previous owner
saying the following:
* 170% genoa sheets run through the car at aft end of track * 150% genoa
sheets run through the car at forward end of track * 130% genoa sheets run
through block on rail forward of lifeline gate brace * 110% genoa sheets run
through block on rail well forward
Is that how you all run your sheets? When if ever do you even use your 170%
genoa?
Note I'm familiar with adjusting fore and aft car / block location to adjust
sail shape for conditions, etc. I'm looking for the starting points for
running the sheets for different headsails.
