Josh, I didn't notice a big difference, but the wind was less than 10 knots. I generally trim the main by looking at the leech. and position of the boom. Maybe Jake can chime in - it was his sail on my boat for Bermuda. Joel On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 12:26 PM, Josh Muckley via CnC-List <

David, When I added a 155 I was shocked at how much boat speed I gained over the 135 in light air. We also had the inboard jib tracks for use with the 155. The inboard tracks made for a very narrow slot, but it was fast if you paid attention! Its not you! Joel Formerly 35/3 The Office On Tue,

Rick: If you were getting say, a 150% genoa made from a lighter cloth than what you are proposing (8.88 and 9.1 oz.), I would definitely spend the extra money and get a tri-radial. For a 135% from cloth this weight, I doubt there is much of a performance difference between the tri-radical
