Chuck,

 Frequently in the Chesapeake Bay we get similar conditions.  We sail short
handed and with 4 total.

Good feedback,

Doug

Doug,

I think it matters where you sail and how much weight you can put on the
rail.  I had a 1975 25 and carried a 150, 125, and 100% but we sail in
Buzzards Bay in Massachusetts where we get short steep chop.  As such, the
100% didn’t get much use since it wouldn’t drive the boat through the waves
as effectively as sailing with the 125 and putting a single reef in the
main.  I generally only used the 100% when the wind got up above 23-25kts
and then with a double reef in the main.
