I’m curious. Why must you reef the main at 12 knots with the 135, while you can 
carry the full main and 150 to 15, and full main and 100 to 20?

I have a 39.  When we race I can carry a 150 in 15 knots.

 

 When we started cruise i bought a 135 rolller furl.  It was great up to 12 
knots then I have to reef the main.  I finally gave up and got a 100% for 
cruising.  Easier to handle and I can keep full sail to 20 knots.
