Doug,
My experience with a 110% Lapper on my 25 mk1 is similar to Chuck’s. The sail never sees the light of day unless the wind is above about 20 true and the main has at least one reef. Given that I sail in North Carolina, you can read that as “almost never”. I also have a storm jib for the boat, and that sail was flown once in Delaware Bay many years ago, and once or twice just to practice putting it up. I suspect anything smaller than the 135 you mentioned that you have would have limited value unless you sail in San Francisco Bay.

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.

I have a 155, 150, 135 and small storm jib. I was thinking of a 100-110% could be useful for the sail arsenal. Doug s/v Red Sky
