I had a 150% UK Tape Drive Genoa...great in all wind conditions but light
winds, poled out was specially good!

For successful racing, I believe it's essential to have a lightweight 150
or 155 in your inventory. Our boats are on the heavy side and seem to
perform best in light air with a big, lightweight genoa. I bought my
laminated mylar 150 from Nuclear Sails in Tampa about five years ago. It's
still going strong and shows little wear. Nuclear makes a unique looking
sail in that it's clear and you can see right though it. I also have a
mylar mainsail from Nuclear. The tracks on our boats are fine and allow a
reasonable range of adjustment. I've found the 150 to be effective poled
out on downwind legs when we don't declare a spinnaker.

  Our local PHRF now allows a 155% genoa with no penalty, so I have
finally
  conviced myself I need a new synthetic racing sail!

  Is anyone using a 155%?  Does the track go back far enough?

  (If anyone has the precise measurements to give the sailmaker I would
  cetainly appreciate getting a copy).

  Thanks All
