Sorry for the typo.  "In between is UNUSUAL for San Francisco Bay in the
winter" is what I should have said.

My apologies.

The answer is in your last line.  "The boat is surprisingly well
balanced."  OK, in the late Spring to early fall the typical wind is
15-20 knots, with days of 25 and higher not unlikely.  In the winter we
get two types of conditions:  very light air or very stormy--in between
is usual for San Francisco Bay in the winter.  Thus the 100 is flown
during the late Spring to early Fall and then the switch.

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.
