[C320-list] 155 vs. 135

[Kirk McCullough]

Sails can be made in any size, maybe a 145 is best for your conditions??

Also, you could go with lighter sail cloth if you are concerned about a 155 
being to heavy for light air as some have suggested.

I have a high cut 135 for most conditions and when in light air I go with 
the cruising spinnaker if I'm able to reach to my destination. The spinnaker 
is good to 10kts apparent.
