On the Hudson River, I find I could not sail withot the 150 genny,Summer is often light winds. in a blow I'll reef and use the 110. I find a poled out 150 genny far easier to use and just about as efficient as the A.S (which I just sold because of that). I like using the two sails and reefing options on the main rather than carry a large suit of sails. I find it no problem at all to single had any of this so with two it will be easier.
