Geez Adam: If you don't switch to the 100% in 40 knots, when do you
use it? The only point of owning a sail like that is to use it in high
winds. The one time I tried to sail my 320 in winds that strong I
didn't use any headsail at all. But then I only have one reef point in
the main. The boat was surprisingly well balanced.
