[C320-list] Genoa Size

[Adam Weiner]

I very much second that suggestion.  Check with one or more LOCAL sail
makers.  Dave, an excellent recommendation.

I think the thing to base your decision on would be the wind strength
and wave conditions in which you will be using the less than 150.
Suggest you speek with a sail maker in your area.
