[C320-list] Sail size for racing

[Joe Luciano]

I have raced for years on other people’s boats in the Puget sound area although I don’t race my own 320.  I have a 130 on my boat and it is great for cruising, I typically wouldn’t want anything larger.  For racing in our area, I would think you would need the standard jib sail, a 100 as well as a 130 for the variable racing conditions.

We get wildly varying winds on Puget Sound and the boat just does not like sailing with a roller reef.  Before I fork over the cash I thought I'd ask what size sails the competitive types in this group sail and are successful with.  Yea....I know that my skippering skills are more than half the equation but I'm thinking my 155 is contributing to my inability to point higher.  Thoughts??
