[C320-list] Sail size for racing

[Denny Browne]

You may not point quite as high, but you’ll go faster until you get overpowered. The 155 is the first sail we purchase in Southern California, and replace most frequently. It gets the most use here, but much less up north where there’s consistently higher winds.  

I also have a 140 that I like a lot, but we get killed with it in under 10 knots when the rest of the fleet are flying 155s.

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??
