Hi Andy, For some reason I’m not getting list emails reliably… I had a new Genoa made and find for my uses that it’s a great compromise. It sets well and reefs acceptably. My #3 was older but in good shape like yours and it’s the clear winner when the wind is blowing but I found it frustrating in lighter air. The 140 was too big for singlehand in most conditions and didn’t reef usefully.
Some details here http://cncwindstar.blogspot.com/2021/01/sail-inventory.html?m=1 I can send the specs of the headsail if you wish.
