Stus-List Re: C New Genoa
Hi Andrew, We cruise and race our 33-2 in eastern Quebec since 2011. We have a cruising laminate 110 for stronger winds, the boat can sail very high with this sail but in anything under 10 knots you want more sail area. We also have a racing 132. Why not 135... because we can sheet it in front of the top spreader, my sailmaker sold me the "optimized" design and it works! But we rarely used this sail and tend to jump right from our 110 to our tired 150 membrane genoa if it gets lighter. Like you said, a sail wardrobe depends of your local conditions. My opinion: Cruising: get the 140, should be plenty of power and easier to tack. In stronger winds, you will be overpowered quickly. Racing : get a 150 You don't mind changing sails and have a 100-110 already, get a 150. If you don't have a spinnaker, you can do pretty good with a poles out 150 downwind. Whatever you choose, you will love your boat with a brand new sail!

I am getting a new X-Drive Endure Genoa for my 33-2. Sailmaker thought 140 would be best but given the predominantly light air we sail in, I was thinking a larger sail. I was wondering if anybody had experience with larger genoa’s for the 33-2. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Andy We raced a 33-2 extensivelythe majority of the time the 150% was the go to sail. while we had a 135% it was rarely used...if the 150% was too much sail, the 100% worked just fine. we also had a Pentax main sail with a big roach on the leech. The 33-2 sails quite well with a 150% in lighter air if you are racing. If you are not racing, the 140% would be great too. Rob Abbott AZURA C 32 - #277 Halifax, N.S.

Why not a 155% Genoa if you are racing?
