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.

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.

Anyone have experience with a 100% for a C&C 24?

 

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