[C320-list] Genoa: 120 v 150

[Joe Barrett]

AS for the Genoa I wouldn't go below a 135% for your area. I had heard that
the in mast furlers coming out on the new C 320's had vertical battens,
improving performance and giving the min a larger Roach both of which are
extremely positive things. A main with an in mast furler without battens and
without a decent Roach just plain sucks performance wise.

I'm in the process of ordering a new 320.  Can anyone share thoughts on
genoa size?  I'm replacing my Catalina 27 on the Chesapeake.  Is it worth
going with the 150 over the 120 for the light air we have around here?
Also, any thoughts on opting for battens on a furling main?
Many thanks for the help!
