[C320-list] Genoa: 120 v 150

[Mark Calisti]

Another consideration is the ounces in the sail. I believe the Catalina 
stock is 5 oz. I'm not sure what the difference in total weight might be 
between, say a 6 oz. 150 vs a 5 oz., but it seems apparent that a higher oz. 
sail would not be necessary for light air environments.

I just ordered an Ullman 6 oz. 150 to replace our factory sail since the 
winds on the Barnegat Bay in NJ are typically strong.
